After missing out on last week's outing, I was happy that we had near ideal conditions this time around. The air was crisp, the trees nearing their peak colors, and miles of singletrack trail awaited us. What's not to like?
It was just the two of us this evening (three, if you count my dog Scout). I decided that it'd be fun to show Keven what the mountain bike course is like, so we started the run with a partial lap around the Powder Monkey course. There were a few wet areas, most of which were easily avoided. Overall, the trail was in fantastic shape and offered plenty of great views of Lake Superior. There was also an abundance of deer in the area and Scout was having a blast chasing them all over the place (she's never caught one yet, but she sure seems eager to keep trying!).
After a few miles on the bike course we decided to do an out and back on the Superior Hiking Trail. This is a fun section of the SHT, and I wished that we would have had more daylight available to go a little further. I can't think of any sections of the SHT trail that I don't like, but the Spirit Mountain section is particularily good in my opinion.

We would love to have more participants, so please considering joining us for future outings. The more the merrier!
