I joined Mike, Steve, and Michael for a fun mountain bike jamboree in Fair Hills, Maryland today. There’s just something energizing about pulling up to a trail head with a parking lot full of mountain bikers! Delaware Trailspinners put on the event to raise awareness of the trails and show out of towners where the good stuff is. Mike and I had spent a humid summer day last year boring ourselves silly on double-track horse trails before getting a brief taste of singletrack.
With local guides, it was a much better experience, with miles of tight, twisty singletrack, bridges, rocks, roots, and the added thrill of fall leaves covering up other surprises. Afterwards, there was plenty of tailgating, grilling, drinking, and chatting with old friends and new. I caught up with several of the JAR folks from the Idaho trip and other past events. It was a great way to spend a Sunday bonding with the larger area mountain biking community.
