Human Powered Trails


While visiting friends in the La Crosse, WI area I stopped at Human Powered Trails for a ride. I only rode a few of the many trails but they were fun and well maintained. I met Dan Luebke while I was out riding. Dan is the president of Human Powered Trails and he was getting ready for a trail work night. Since I didn't need to be anywhere till after 8PM I told him I would chip in and help. About 10 others showed up even though it was raining a little. They have an awesome enclosed trailer to house all the trail work tools. The grant they got for a ditch-witch really impressed me too! I met the trail crew and they are a great bunch of dedicated riders.

Bonus: Cold PBRs when the work is done! Gotta love Wisconsin...
If you get to La Crosse ride Human Powered Trails.

Paul,

Thanks for all the help last Thursday! Come up to enjoy a ride and decide to work instead?!?! You are a true "trail-work-aholic"!

I don't normally have a reason to stop in Nebraska on our way out west... But we do now!

Next time your in Wisco, drop us a line so we can share a ride on some new trails, and the cold PBR's are on me!

Who is Stratomatic?

My photo
Stratomatica - is my blog place where I document things happening around me or that interest me. The name Strata, geologically speaking, are layers of sedimentary rock or soil with internally consistent characteristics that distinguish it from other layers. Too deep? Well, I like guitars. Mostly I like the sound and feel of Stratocasters.
