Max S opened our eyes to some AMAZING trails near Foxhaven/Heyward and so Bryson and I want to ride them again with a bit more intensity since we now know what they look like.

Shay introduced me to Biscuit Run this semester, and I’ve realized that there’s a lot of potentially cool riding back there. And it’s pretty easily rideable from the Shrack. I’m not set on it, but I’d be interested in taking this trip back there. Or just Ohill if that’s what people are feeling. This will be an intermediate trip, so …
Hey y’all! This fall weather makes me want to crunch some leaves in rapid succession, and the best way to do that is running the trails behind Observatory Hill. The plan is to run 3-4 miles and I am good with going at any pace, so we can gauge with the group. It’s fairly hilly terrain so I imagine it …
