Ah--when the the stars align, and the summer weather is perfect, and the trails in good shape and hundreds of eager bikers set out on an adventure in a lovely State Forest, and the beer flows plentifully with the cheese burgers-it just makes me smile. Good show everyone who came out, kicked in your donations and rode wendell. We've pretty much guaranteed our long-term relationship with this 8000 acre forest and more single track is on tap for the fall and spring--come out and enjoy it again.

Special thanks to harold Green and Big Mark Courtemanche for all the early hour hard work, planning, promotion etc. And to PK for coming out and running a tight ship and bank rolling the affair, and of course to el presidente George Willard-our trail Yoda (Flow your Trails have not but many Punji-stumps there are)-seriously, financial and knowledge support has been plentiful and timely from our head honcho--PVNEMBA is lucky to have him. Hope you all had fun.

And yes, I know, I know--it's a right turn out of the parking lot--sorry, about that! Hope you all made it out for cheap Harpoon beer anyway (it seemed like most of you did!).

Great day Liam -- great to see such a huge amount of people enjoying Wendell! Those trails are riding better and better the more they get ridden!

If the guests had half as good a day as the hosts, there are lots of bikers wearing smiles as they wind down from a superb day. Thanks to all of you who came today, and even more thanks to those who helped us create what was unanimously declared a great riding spot.

Liam , what can I say....you learned your lessons well Rock Hopper. Nice job to all you guys out there in Franklin County and beyond for getting it done. Now take that well deserved break and ride your bike.

Well, GW, I'm going to do just that (at cape Cod in fact...where is this Trail of Tears anyway?)

Just wanted to share a newspaper photo that Capt. Shay brought to our attention. The Greenfield Recorder is running this photo/caption on it's froont page today-I haven't seen the accompanying article yet--but it's great PR for NEMBA and WEndell SF
