For those of you who haven't heard the news, Harrisonburg will soon have a new trail system within the city, just down the street from our house at Hillandale Park! Bikers across town are getting excited. There are rumored reports that our favorite IMBA family will relocate nearer to the new riding, and that the sexiest man in the peleton is fast at work buying up soon-to-be prime real estate around the park. After spending time outside of Clemson, in Scott's excellent location on the Issaqueena Trails, I can see what all the fuss is about.
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.

I was back in Virginia for two days and then the ice rolled in.
(Look what I found on the Jetta!)
My nordic attributes might be alluring this time of year, but blue eyes and a fair complexion offer little comfort when the winds chill is 7 degrees.
I won't stay indoors riding the trainer. There is a decision to be made; go skiing or pack up the bikes and drive south?
