It’s Saturday morning and we are under Southwest Freeway on Keegans Bayou Trail. This is a 50 foot stretch 8 to 10 foot wide of mud from recent heavy rains. The stuff really gets in the way of a good bike ride, so five of us decided to get rid of the mud.
We are members of neighborhoods to trails Southwest (NTTSW) and friends of Keegans Bayou. And no, Jerry isn’t slacking, he has just dumped the wheelbarrow several times!
2 inches of mud on top of a concrete trail will cause bikes to slip out from under you, which is no fun. We had a number of riders told us, thank you as they went by, but did not stop to help when Pat invited them to take a shovel, even though most of the riders were a good 30 to 40 years younger than those of us holding the shovels!
We are going to try to make a habit of doing this after every major rainfall as a clean trail is a safer trail.
