On the trail busting my tail

For Christmas Kadizzle acquiesced to The Commander's burning desire to for a mountain bike.  The cost may bankrupt the Kadizzlites, but it will bring joy to the organization.  Our Canadian friend Darch is responsible for getting The Commander into mountain bike fever.  So today we went with Darch and Bryan to work on one of the gazzillion trails they have built over in the Gold Canyon area.  We saddled up the bikes and rode about a mile and then found the hidden cache of tools to begin work on the trail.  In a relatively short time we completed our task and continued to ride the bikes.  It is evident from a little riding that no one is going to do this sport without some cactus needles in the neither regions, and some bruises.  Kadizzle made a good choice and took the short route back to the truck. The rest of the crew rode on into the desert, and even The Commander said she got a work out.  We were both amazed how easy it is to make a nice trail.  One pleasure in trail making is you get to bash all those GD cactus you have always hated.
