congrats on breaking the new bike in properly - on the dirt!!
This isn't a slam at all. Our trails aren't closed on muddy days as they are at some parks and there's not much in signage to let beginners know so they have to get the information somehow. What better way than a board of friendly, sometimes been there done that-don't make my mistake, mtb'er chicks?
