This is Dave Tompkins. Dave is our resident forester at East Coasters in Roanoke. Dave's a trail work guru and has done much for the Roanoke trail community in the time he's been here. If you want to know what's going on with trail work in the Roanoke Valley....Dave's your man. Dave's a mountain, road, and cyclocross (and townie!) bike rider, too.
