On Thursday afternoon, a nice sized group of about ten of us from the Shenandoah Mountain Bike Club met up for a couple hours of trail work. I'd never before cut new trail while the trees and ground were covered by 3 inches of sleet and hard-packed ice. The scenery and the icy setting provided a novel experience, and the work kept my heart rate and temperature up.

All and all, a fun evening with friends. I look forward to next week's session. That is, of course, if I am anywhere near Harrisonburg by then. Alas, I am still dreaming of 70 degrees and sunny.
