    Default Trail care day

    The SIS XII coming up soon, so we're going be down at The Island Sunday morning at 9:00am. This is basically going to be a walk around to see what needs to be done to make the race possible. The course is pretty much the same as last year's with maybe a few minor changes, so there shouldn't be a whole lot to do. We'll be picking up some trash, trimming back some branches and brush. We'll have some tools but if you want to bring a pruning saw or some clippers,cool. Hope to see you Sunday. If you have any questions message me.

    I'm down. See you there.
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.
