One More TNR

11/10/2026

Bright sky towards night

Riders’ delight

Bright sky at morning

Riders still yawning

Our lost daylight savings

Won’t gain enough interest

Now, mountain bike cravings

Have turned to indifference

In the cold and the dark

Attendance is dwindling

Too late for a spark

Flame is out — no rekindling

We’ll know what leaves are hiding

‘Cuz we’re riding the home track

Do our thing — final fling

Then next spring, we’ll be right back

Last week I had the Ascutney Trails closing date for bikes wrong. Luckily, it’s been extended to Friday the thirteenth, so this Tuesday (the tenth) we will have the season-ending TNR from the AOC, 449 Ski Tow Road. I’ll see you at 5:45 (because I’ll be wearing a helmet light).
