Today is your day Boomer! Those new mountain bikes with big knobby tires are sure popular with Boomers these days! They are perfect for mountain trails on snowy days, but they do require so-called "groomed" trails. Check out this picture and notice the perfect trail carved out by a local Boomer who some people in my living area call the "Trail Gnome". This incredible gentleman takes it upon himself to manually run a snowblower over 10 km of biking trails on a popular,local mountain.....and he has does it multiple times this year. That is 10 km, much of it uphill!! The trail is flattish and three-feet wide and serves both bikers and hikers with easy transport in the face of normally-bumpy, crusty winter conditions. It is simply marvellous and adds real enjoyment to a sunny, winter day! My wife and I enjoyed 5 hours of hiking on these trails this past weekend, and we thank-you Mr. Gnome. We admire your community spirit and and applaude you as a great role model for other Boomers who likely have quite a bit of time on their hands. Cheers and happy winter!
