Hey everyone, please join us Tuesday night for our next Rake and Ride event at the Topsham Ponds trails. We will have the help of an excavator, and will continue the task of hacking roots and smoothing the riding surface. Meet at the end of Lover's Lane at 6:00. We've got tools for you! Just bring insect stuff and gloves if you like. We will try to ride the entire system beginning at 7:00 (you may want to bring a light).

Hope to see you there!
