It was a small but mighty work party for this week's Wednesday trailbuilding session at Strouds Run State Park. The Athens Bicycle Club tools were AWOL but Dave brought out his arsenal and I had my trusty McLeod. The turnout was small but we chipped away at the first climb leaving the parking area. Dave and I did some benching while Kelly did some sweet rockwork. She just wanted to remind all of us Ohioans that there are rocks on trails in other states. And to you out of staters … there are at least two rocks on this trail. Hope to see everyone next week. Meet at the south end (far end) of the beach parking lot. Bring work boots, gloves, water, snack, etc. Questions? E-mail me at pete@athensbicycle.com.

To all Gravel Rouser participants: You have only one week to get your game on for the festivities.
