Hey Tree Slappers and Root Kickers,

It’s Tuesday all over again! Time to hit the single track trails in the Forests of Derwood (just like we did last week…and the week before…and…you get the picture!). Momma Nature is giving us pleasant temps and conditions although the thaw will leave some slippery bits out there so tread carefully!

OK, announcements then run details:
