Pretty straight forward in and out to the FCA sites today. More biking than hiking. Spooked by a movement in the woods. Ended up being a cow on a crazy steep slope where we were working. Whew!
Cycling (MTB) 4:30:00 [3]
Thought this was going to be an easy ride and a short day. Nope. Muddy and cattle rutted tracks = tons of hike-a-bike. Hard to get into a rhythm. Wasn't too bad coming back since all the climb was pretty much going in.
Ended up herding cattle for quite a few parts of it. Felt like a cowboy except for the helmet and a metal stead. Felt bad since we were herding them one way while the real ranchers were trying to get them to go the other way - I suspect it was a death march. Amazing that they find all their animals. Saw them off trail in some really interesting places. As well never in my life have had so much shit splattered on me while biking. Damn cow paddies. Tough to avoid. Got to love Alberta free range beef.
