    		The Legacy Climb got a few short sections upgraded with our friends on Adaptive bikes in mind and we also performed our annual maintenance. This trail work is self funded and is authorized by Dream Wizards Partnership agreement with RSTBC. Thanks for everyone that supports us through the Full Nelson and Half Nelson GoFundMe maintenance fundraisers. Please ride right over the fresh work it helps compact it. See you on the trails soon!
