SF Urban Riders took on Old Man Winter – Go ride a less-muddy Historic Trail
Feb 5th, 2010 | By Mo | Category: ResourcesIt was a great trail building day on Sutro today. A little rain, and there was lots of mud, but we got a lot of rock mixed in to a large section of the Historic trail. Both trail and day came together and we finished to glorious sunshine. It’s a long swatch, so there is still some mud lower down, but we think you’ll enjoy the improvements.

It’s gonna be a great morning of maintaining our trails and making them a little less slippery,

Then we are going to kick it, eat some pizza, drink some beer, and scheme up our next bike ride.
Hope to see you,
SF Urban Riders
