Tips & Training


Tip # 1: Tune Into The Weather Channel What’s the forecast? Rain? Bring a rain suit, waterproof boots, and a hat. Dress in layers to stay warm. Sunny and Hot? Sunscreen and a hat are a must. Cool and Windy? Wear layers and bring an extra jacket. Always check the weather forecast before coming out to work on the trails.
