my wrists are sore, my sit bones are sore, I am potentially - TopicsExpress

my wrists are sore, my sit bones are sore, I am potentially covered in poison ivy and mosquito bites. I drank a medium coffee, 30 oz of water, 5 cans of beer, a Monster Energy drink, 2 chocolate milks and a Gatorade before getting to Tap and Mallet, and I could barely pee, no extra fluid in me. We had to back track twice due to my error once and a washed out trail. We had to skirt through poison ivy 3 times due to washed out trails and wade through a river. Every time we stopped for a second, mosquitoes swarmed us. It rained somewhat in the beginning, but was just muggy most of the time. My beer bag broke and I had to give away 2 that I couldnt carry. Some roads were soft and squishy and it was a grind to pedal through them. Sand, roots and wet rocks constantly turned our tire. Thorn and prickers constantly scratched us. Was it worth it? OH HELL YEAH! Lets do it again! it was an epic ride to remember. So much fun, great company. Rides like this challenge and expose your character. And we had a bunch of characters with us. Thank you so much for riding Jim McLaughlin who organized and originated the ride, Matthew Lovell, Chester Jozefski, Keith Ogles Mike Traxler and Zach.
