According to Oxford Languages, “sweat equity” is “an interest or increased value in a property earned from labor toward upkeep or restoration.” That term popped into my mind at last Sunday’s White Mountain New England Mountain Bike Association’s Trail Day.
Though we started early, the day warmed up fast. It didn’t take long to work up a sweat. One guy next to me had sweat dripping off his nose, and another’s shirt was drenched. I was a sweaty Betty myself. Doing trail work has that effect on people.
