Hey Tree Slappers, how ’bout them Caps? And how ’bout those Muddy Shoes Trail Dogs. True champions as well! OK, lets focus…dur, dur, dur….we got some work to do on Saturday. Nothing too bad. Our ‘goal’, no pun intended, is to crank out an easy 12 miles on the 10 Mile Creek Trail. Wait, I know what yer thinking. 12 miles on a 10 mile trail?!? Nah, the trail is actually 12 miles of single track bliss. Beautiful trail for those th…at have never been on it. Rolling hills, deep forests, awesome lake views. might be a tad bit warm and humid so hydrate today.
