The Darkside is Calling !

I haven't been to the upper entrance of The Darkside yet this year. So today it was off to checkout how well the trails faired from winter and roll out a 3+ hour ride. I even had a welcomed surprise when I found that they put a new bridge up on the far end of The Darkside. Now I won't have to leave the woods to cross the river on this on this end, woohoo.

Thanks rumrunn6 ! Just having fun out in the woods, and so cool they rebuilt the bridge. It doesn't take much to make us happy in the woods of Winchentucky.

I thought this was going to be about buying a recumbent.
