Brandt and Javi piled tools in the back of his truck and headed up to the trails. After yesterday with his family, Brandt had forced himself to spend the morning on the computer. Hours of staring at it, willing it to do what he wanted, left him eager to do some digging and cutting. And to be able to see some results for his efforts.

Javi led the way to where their last stopping point. They planned to get three more berms laid out with an obstacle or two, but as they started up the hill Brandt kept noticing sections where an easy, flowy trail could be laid. Something Raine could ride.

He shook his head. It was unbelievable the way she’d gotten under his skin. He reminded himself that she was too smooth, too polished, too sassy. Not to mention that she wanted to steal the event money from him. Hmm…stealing might be too harsh a word, but he did not need to be making a trail just for her, especially when he needed to get as much done for the experienced riders as he could.

But he liked sassy.

Besides, a lot of the new club members would use an easy trail, and many of them might stay with cross-country rides, with no desire for the downhill excitement. He could also run clinics for the beginners. Get them started, help them practice on simple obstacles. Yeah, it would be worth doing.

He muttered under his breath and veered downslope to examine a deer trail that ran relatively horizontally.

“You talking to me?” Javi asked, turning around. “Where are you going?”

“Just checking out some other possibilities.” Brandt pointed along the line he was considering. “What about a beginner trail along here?”

“Beginners?” Javi shook his head, not an easy feat with a mattock on one shoulder and clippers on the other. “I thought we were focusing on trails for next year’s event. And you know, we can’t keep calling it ‘next year’s event.’ It needs a name!”

“I know, I know. But this—I was thinking that there’s no place for beginners to ride up here.”

Javi shrugged. “Right now, you either bike or you don’t. And you’ve always said we need to focus on the ones who do.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Brandt pivoted around his shovel and started back up.

He looked up to find Javi’s brown eyes studying him.

“You got somebody in particular in mind for this trail?” Javi said. “Somebody you might have had a public make-out session with last week?”

“No, not at all,” Brandt said quickly. “Just thinking ahead. It would be good for business.”

“Right,” Javi answered. “You keep telling yourself that.”

They followed the new trail up another ten minutes until they reached the pile of branches they had cleared last time. They decided on a line to take—a fairly tight turn, down a cluster of roots, and between two trees.

Javi took the clippers and opened up the space, while Brandt dug the bank for the berm. He imagined riding the line, knowing it would be a little challenging but not too much.
