They say the new trails at Seaview are nice. And Seaview is a lot closer to AC than Batsto.

Big thanks to everyone that showed up for trail work yesterday, saw alot of old faces and some new ones, got alot done, and a huge shout out to @sandman for making the mowing much easier by clearing out the trees that fell across the trails! Couple more of these and we'll be set for another season!We are planning on a Monday 8/16/21 trail maintenance day. 7:30 AM till ? RSVP for meeting location and work plan. Clippers and work gloves provided. Bring water, comfortable shoes, and a sense of humor. TWC forecasted Rain Storms and/or Heat Warnings Cancels. Much thanks to @sandman for his many hours of prep work!

Chigger warning!
Rode the Batsto loop yesterday. Only interaction with the vegetation was what you touch when you ride plus I needed to get off the bike maybe 4 times or so to clear a log. I was off the bike for approx. 30-45 seconds in total. That seems to have been enough to get a chigger infestation below the line where socks can be dropped to apply deet. I have never had it this bad. Had I known, I would have dosed socks in permerthrin and/or applied deet to entire foot and then put socks on.
1/3 of the posts here are about chiggers. I always remove socks b4 applying till the 1st frost. Treat all clothing with sawyer and make freinds with the road bike in August. Them f*****s are no joke. @slingblade_uhhuh got me to carry a lint roller (3m sticky tape) for removal on the move or when you get back to the lot.Chigger warning!
