This morning, the Venturing Crew went Mountain Biking. We had scheduled to go to Elizabeth Furnace, but the difficulty of the course, as discussed by others, and the distance, meant that we had to find somewhere shorter. Instead, we found Conway Robinson State Forest, a 10-15 minute drive from my house, and a much easier course. I wok up before 7:00 am to head out and check the trail conditions before we attempted to put all of us on the trail. They were marginal, but some trails were better than others. I figures we'd try to stick to the good trails. Unfortunately, I hadn't accounted for the day warming up.
Instead of drying out, the frozen ground under the trails started melting. We got one loop in, and then they got bad. We did another mini loop that took us just as long, but was a terribly muddy mess. Unfortunately, we had to get through the mud to do it. It messed us all up, and I'm afraid we may have damaged the trail some, too.
