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.

Tranquility Tire Tantrum 2008

Last Saturday I entered my 3rd Pycowpath Series MTB Race. I kept up my streak of not finishing last (but just barely). There were 17 racers in the Beginner Men Masters 35+ class and I was happy to finish 16th. I was even happier that my family came to visit me and cheer me on at the start.
