This was an amazing ride. Probably the toughest I've ever been on. Lots of climbing up front, then marvelous alpine singletrack. Lots of mud. Terrible fires through there over the last decade, so all the big trees were dead, but lots of new growth at the ground level.
If you notice Dustin's stats, there was about two hours of non-riding time... I think 75% of that was his/their waiting for me. Thanks for that by the way!!! I'm slow in general, but about 4/5 of the way into it my knee quit working, which really sucked for me. Good Mexican food at the end, too! Anyway, a great time, even with the slow and the knee.
