Day 96 – 2013-10-12, Saturday – Salina, KS

Switchgrass! We’re back, and looking forward to riding! The Bear is not hurt this time around, so she’ll be riding it with me. The plan was to ride the whole thing, and we will, just not all today!

You know how plans go … usually awry! Same with us. We got a late start, so that kind of limited us, and I kind of pooped out later in the ride. We rode all of it, except for Hell Creek Loop. The name kind of got to me, and even after  snack, I was pretty tired – I also knew that from where we were, having ridden only about 11 miles, which would have been the half-way point of the whole ride, and I figured we probably had at least 4 or 5 miles to go to get done, so we bailed on that last loop. Turns out we rode a bit over 16 miles total, so bailing was a good bet. We’ll be back tomorrow to do what we missed. Here’s a sign for the trail:
