Happy trails

Early January I've been spending time in the woods near my apartment. There are "nature trails" that I have been riding on with my mountain bike (MTB).  There are short, but very steep hills and there are more gradual hills.  Small to medium rocks and even rock-face are common on the trails. Some 3 to 4 inch diameter trees across the trail I can hop over and leave as challenging obstacles.  I am exploring, opening up and therefore creating alot of trails. I have some pruning shears that I fit into a old Emerald walnut container and it fits in my waterbottle cage. I've had to trim back lots of branches that stick out. Many bigger trees have fallen over and I have been clearing them off the trails. This gives my arms a good workout. Today I took my 21 inch bow saw and cut a 6 foot section out of a 10 to 12 inch diameter pine tree that is across a path I wanted to create.  Took about 20 minutes of hard work.  May need to take a shovel with me soon.  Some of the paths are just too treacherous to navigate on a bike.  I hope to create trails all the way down to the Enoree River. There could be several miles of trails.  Good to ride the MTB this time of year with cold temperatures. You don't get the wind chill in the woods and going slower.
