Bridge Repair Crew

Today was slated for trail work.  We had a couple more bridges that were in need of TLC...well, maybe a little more than TLC - we'll call it a complete overhaul.  Plans were made, lumber was collected and supplies gathered - oh, and trucks were borrowed { too long of a trek to take all those supplies in by wheelbarrow!! }  The weather even cooperated.  We had a great turn out of helping hands - of all shapes and sizes!

The borrowed truck all loaded up


Another awesome father-in-law!

The littles who joined the work crew!

But it wasn't all work, work, work!!

Any good work party is incomplete without lots of snack breaks!

Many hands makes for dangerous hammering and unevenly spaced boards!



Our fearless race director!
So, when you hit a bridge with shiny new lumber, remember we did it for you.  We wanted you to be safe, first and foremost, and your feet to stay to dry, or at least dry-ish!  I know we stand to benefit from the improved bridges but you know how it is when you have company coming!  We want the trails to be in tip-top shape for our company.  So the old was lugged out and the new brought in. 

So, be ready to hit those bridges running and give it your all!  Leave it all on the mountain!
