Go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life, mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.

Since it's inception, the Common Ground Winter Trail Series has felt like it should have four races. There have been lots of ideas but nothing concrete or particularly realistic. Finally, we decided that we were unnecessarily constraining ourselves to the world of good, fully-thought-out ideas. Our new concept is simply to create an event that sparks a sense of adventure. Each year we'll come up with an event that will explore our little corner of the world and offer participants an opportunity to mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.
