biking 3:45:34 [3] 16.0 km (14:06 / km)
Riding with Todd in Sooke - not the fastest routes we've ever taken and the ride up to the top of Manual Quimper was an exercise in futility reminiscent of a typical 'bikewhack' in AR. 60% riding and the rest pushing and dragging out bikes up the mountain in loose, cobblely terrain. We summited, then got down to the bottom via a sketchy single track trail with some off camber skinnies and drops that made my sphincter tighten. We then sought out some better single track and that erased the frustration of the first half of the ride. All in all, a fun ride.
