[Biking-L] Trail Work! Kind of...

[Mac Stricklen]

I think it would be worth the club's time to put in the work on the 
campsite, even though it doesn't have as much direct benefit for us as 
working on the actual trails.  I've always felt like all trail users in 
the Athens area would be better off if we were able to build a few more 
connections between the hiking community and the cycling community.  
Working with this group on the campsite would help with that.  Plus, Pat 
is right about it burning come volunteer hours.

Besides, we might want to go camping sometime, too. 

I'm going to try to arrange my schedule to be able to come to this.
