Over the past few months, I have been learning how to find my pace. Not the pace of putting out fires or scrambling to keep up, but the steady rhythm of building something that is starting to take on a life of its own.

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.
