The hills were alive and kickin' at the second annual ShredFest this past Saturday! Residents took the challenge of "Skill Hill" with gusto! We explored these three skill trails before heading out for a longer ride on Acorn Trail. Wendell Falls has over 10 miles of trails, perfect for hiking and biking in this glorious October weather! Thanks to all who came out to ride!

We gave Summer a proper send-off with our final Groove at The Grove of the season last week! Thanks to New Sweat for all the best beats, Ruby’s Rise and Tropical Sno 919 for keeping the music munchies in check, and AH Fairy Hair for the sparkly locks. A round of applause to everyone who made this season of Grooves the grooviest: by showing up, being yourself, and hanging out with the best neighbors around!
