Pathfinder but on a bike

Skate or die had to last minute bail on running. My ankle was not 100%, so I brought a mountain bike and road the trails solo. explored some new routes and enjoyed the quiet.

Trail run at the Whitewater Center

Leave a comment

The kids are off school and we need to get on some trails. The Nash van is making a trip to the Whitewater Center on Thursday morning to run some trails. Leo and Half Tights are leading a group on a 9 mile route(same one as the CRC Trail race) and I will be leading a shorter 5-ish mile route. I have room in my van and a parking pass so plan to hop in and ride the big black bus up there. Meet in Kingsley at 0745. Message me for details.
