Gravel/Mixed Terrain Ride 1:51:00 [3] 21.5 mi (5:10 / mi)
Only two of us showed up for a post-rainstorm, post-work road ride, and we were both mountain bikers, so it turned into a spontaneous mixed-terrain ride. My one request, since I was riding slicks on the Cutty, was that we stay out of the mud. The first trail we went into, of course, was a mud fest, and I managed to slide and spin my way through most of the wallows. Things improved once we started climbing, and then we worked down through an orchard in full bloom and alongside Bare Hill Pond on fantastic trails I'd never seen before. More mud, more climbing, and then I was home in just time to have missed dinner.
