Trail elves at work (it never ends!)

Ever wonder what Santa’s Elves do in their off season?… and how they pass the summer? Well they make themselves moderately useful by keeping the North Shore trails clear of
downed trees and branches! Have a look-see at some of their handiwork from near Nelson Creek, on the initial section of the Knee Knacker route 🙂

Luckily this part of the trail is far away from any houses and the highway noise drowns out all sounds of a large chainsaw. Photo by Mark Grist.

We could have left the tree in place and then watch the fun unfold on race morning. But we’re just too responsible to let that happen. Besides, the rest of the trail is tough enough! Photo by Mark Grist
