Can you believe we got in our first group ride on the year on April 1st! The trail clearing crew was out all last week and it showed, the trails were is great shape. We started the ride by heading up Manganese Rd to Ma Maki where we started the climb to the Mountain Lodge. Didn't take far to realize the lungs and legs had a few cobwebs that needed to be worked out, but we slowly made our way to the top. So many choices on how to go down, but the group agreed on Red Trail to Mango then down Manganese Rd back to town.
