More Info:
Its a new year. Forget all the resolutions you didn't get to last year (you can't read them anyways), and start the new year by running away your hangover from the mistakes made.
Trail is far up in MD this year, but is also only 15 minutes drive away from the afternoon annual Hangover Helper trail. So come on out and do the double header which will give you mimosa's, screwdrivers, beer, and of course a shiggy trail in the morning. Then rinse repeat and do it all over agin in the afternoon with Hangover Helper at 1pm.
