"Oh what do we have here, in the middle of the trail, at Crow Hassen Park Reserve?"
Yes!!! It is a big pile of crap!! Must be mountain bikers because they tear the stuff out of and poop right on trail, unlike our equine friends and their (stereotypically) snooty owners. What I didn't take pics of was the Ore2Shore-ish sand pits where the horseys left their hoof marks, after walking no less! I guess a winding ribbon of sustainable 18-24in wide singletrack is too destructive. More evidence that our Amurica is not suitable for two wheels, unless those 2 wheels are on a Hummer that is taking an exit ramp too quickly.
Lets just look at these works of art instead of looking at crap.

Next up for us: Our 1st CX double. We are excited to kill ourselves twice. As of now, Sat looks chilly and rainy, could be epic. As epic as a 45 and 30min race can get I guess...
