I just read Mitch's blog and was reminded of a post I meant to write a few weeks ago. I was riding Indian Creek and lamenting the good old days of my NRS. (Mainly though I was grinning like a dog with its head out the window -- albeit an "old" wheezy dog.) I've had the idea a few times to pay myself mtn bike milage. My "question for the board" is: What's a fair reimbusement rate for saddle time? Also, is it better to think in terms of miles or time spent on the bike? "If the board will consider one more question..." Am I better served to pay myself a wage for trail maintanence hours, or are maintanence hours their own sweet reward? All for now. Happy Trails & Happy Holidays.
