even the best laid plans can go astray... shit happens.

enduramil - Todd and Joe joined us. Joe had been there before but since he didn't alter his mental state until AFTER we did the bushwacking he couldn't quite remember where to go...

Todd posted something on DM about this ride. Something along the lines of maps useless, guide books useless, GPS only good for a paper weight, and never trust another human's directions.

And the most important, when Lee Lau says this will be a fun scenic ride. Pack like you are about to start the Bataan Death March.

I love the quotes from the book. At least you found some humour in it!

A bad day biking is better than a good day at work.

After all that - we just wanted to get the hell out of there so didnt bother taking much of a look around. Marshall Ridge looks :damn: - especially on top of a big ride. Thx for the beta though
