UNION COUNTY â The threat of rain Saturday, May 22, did not douse the volunteer spirit burning within local mountain bikers.
The Blue Mountain Singletrack Trails Clubâs annual Mount Emily Recreation Area Work Day drew about 30 people.
âIt was one of the biggest turnouts weâve had,â said Sean Chambers, Union Countyâs parks director.
The National Weather Service forecast rain for the day, and some fell as the work started at 8:30 a.m. but it did not appear to cause anyone to leave.
âThese are real die-hards,â Chambers said late in the afternoon after a day in which rainfall at MERA was far less than what some expected.
