thanks guys but I can't take all the credit. Many people have their hands in this, in no particular order I would like to thank and give credit where it is due: Roger Sabine for giving us a chance, Brian Mulligan for working with us, Aaron Smith for drafting the documents with the county, Nate Phelps for his leadership and guidance, Dennis Murphy for getting his foot in the door and giving all of us the opportunity to make it happen, Steve Kunnath for co-TC work, Jason Dew for many hours of unselfish XC trail work and Scott Thenikl, Terry Avink, Mike Gannon, Dave Staublin for countless hours on their own out there. Then there is all the volunteers that make it happen whether it is on their own time or at every trail day or just one, you guys make it all happen. For example, we have invested a total of more than 600 man hours out here. At IMBA man hour rates of $18 per hour, that is an $11,000 gift to the county. Pretty impressive what we can accomplish in 8 months since the county gave us the go ahead! I apologize for anyone I have missed. Thanks to EVERYONE. Good riding with many of you today!
