Just a little reminder to everybody…… This time of year the temptation to ride when trails are wet is BIG, doing so will not only cause premature trail erosion, potentially permanently closing trails, but will cause energy and precious cash to be spent on trails to only be maintained not improved. Basically STAY OFF WET trails, stay at home read a book, bake your wife cookies, resist temptation please stay off the wet trails.
