SaveWhen Dr. Sean Morrissy started building a trail in Minto to get his mountain bike fix after work, he soon realized he’d stumbled upon a goldmine.
A practicing physician in Minto for almost 19 years, Morrissy took up mountain biking 14 years ago.
The four-kilometre trail he started, and doubled in distance within a year, has now expanded “to between 30 and 40 kilometres, thanks to all the help I’ve received since then,” he said.
“It’s not that I’m an amazing trail builder or anything. It’s the terrific terrain.”
