Singletrack Trails Phased into Retirement
Today is a day that I have been looking at for months and maybe years. Today is a day I knew would happen, but deep down, I wished it never would happen. After 20 years of having a business that builds outdoor recreation infrastructure, today is the last day we will have field staff employed to build trails. I don’t know what to feel. I don’t know where to look. Today is the day that Singletrack Trails exhales a final breath, and I inhale the first breath of the next steps of my life.
