    The logs just keep coming, one after another. I had fun at Black Partridge last year. I thought it was certainly easier than Jubilee or Macomb, even though I spent a lot of time on the ground.

    I just rode it yesterday, and the only logs out there now are the ones that were there last year, and are considered part of the trail "feature". A couple of them are tough, but certainly still doable by most riders. Any new logs or deadfall have been removed. The park is rockin', ride it!

    I signed up tonight. That $2.70 service fee must be new. Kind of a kick in the shorts after already forking over $30. I'll live.

    Two races and I'll save enough for a good craft beer. I like the positive spin!
