Mr. John Deere + Pabst + Bowling

Perfection.

That pretty much sums up the day after spending the better part of a beautiful Saturday digging dirt jumps with my friends. For the last few years we've been talking about building jumps such as these for our mountain bikes, but the labor involved without a bulldozer is substantial. We started construction just below the upper campsite on my family land in Bechtelsville, PA. This year we're going to work hard to rebuild many of the trails that have fallen into the tangled grip of nature.

Our day started at 10AM will the cracking of the first Pabst Blue Ribbon. Our crew consisted of myself, Tom Kurtis, Rick Hunter, Chris Clarke, Andy Schulman, and of course my dad who acted as foreman from the seat of my sisters quad. After sunset, we headed to Zerns for some downhome food and entertainment. Zerns has the hands down ugliest looking people in the country as customers. It's always good for some turkey jerky and a sausage sandwich, perhaps even a skin disease. Regardless, I love it for it's realistic grip on the world.

Later that night Andy, George (my roommate) and I capped the night with a little bowling and drinking in Norristown. Six or seven beers later, we headed home for sleep. All in all one of the best days I've had in a while.
