"A half-dozen volunteers were hacking about 4 miles worth of mountain-biking trail into the side of Great Pond Mountain on Wednesday. It was grinding work.
"Small black flies hovered a dozen at a time around the diggers as they shaped the trail with shovels and hoes. The ground was soaked, thick with rocks and roots, and dotted with orange flags that the workers used as guides.
"The volunteers have an ambitious goal. As members of the Penobscot region chapter of New England Mountain Bike Association, they want to build the first extensive mountain-biking trail system in Hancock County. Doing so would make the county a destination for bikers around New England, said Craig MacDonald, the chapter's president."
A recent Bangor Daily News article reported on this chapter's initiative.
