Thanks to all the volunteers who came out on Saturday. Saw many of the usual suspects, plus some new faces, and lots of younger riders, which was awesome to see. Big shout out to Russ B. and Mark from Fanatik Bikes for providing food and bevies to keep the crew fed and hydrated. I didn't make it over to check out Scorpion, but we got all the projects on Evolution completed and the trail is as buff as it's ever been. Get some this week before the rains return!
