Shenandoah Mountain Trail is a bloomin'

Matt Smith, Dan Fudala and I are heading out on our bicycles to clear the middle 3 miles of the Shenandoah Mountain Trail with brushers. The tread is suffering as users are being forced off the downhill side of the trail because the growth pushes one that way. Here is a picture of a dwarf iris from last weekend up there. The Shenandoah Mountain Trail is a great segment of the Great Eastern Trail Bicycle Route. The section known as the "Southern Traverse IMBA Epic" from Rt. 250 to Rt. 627 Scotchtown Draft is officially maintained by Shenandoah Mountain Touring, LLC.
