	Besides the cool temps, and all of the wildlife sightings, getting to ride Sherman backwards is a treat. I got there at 6:45 this morning and it was awesome. I wish we could figure out a way to reverse the trail on occasion, it's like riding it for the first time. I rode it backwards a few times after it first opened, pre-lakeloop, but it's been a bunch of years.

	You left out the spider web facials. They're always a joy. Back on topic, it would be nice to have some of our newer trails switch directions, occasionally. Maybe have even have Sherman and Fisher two-way, from November through February, when visibility isn't much of an issue.

	Getting to the trail early is great, but not first. Spiders don't taste as good as gnats or other flying insects.

	I hate the webs, but I think I only hit 3 of them this morning. Not too bad at all.

	Another vote for reversing certain trails, for what its worth. Speaking of spider webs, I tried to ride BYT first thing in the morning two Saturdays ago. I quickly decided it was too wet and I would ride straight out through the service road. I must have ridden through a hundred webs in that mile or so. I had spiders everywhere. And I don't like spiders a whole lot.
