Gilligan's Island Ride -- More Than What You Asked For!

Jeff H's brother, Mark from Bellingham joined us for a ride at Ft. Lewis recently. It was his birthday and this is how he wanted to “spend it” . . . on his new 29 incher Cannondale (nice bike) chillin’ with his bro’ on single track! It turned out to be a “Gilligan’s Island” ride though. The duration was intended for 1 ½ hours but it turned into a “3+ hour tour” due to finding new single-track and taking some countless improper turns trying to return to the start point. Here’s Mark on the (his) “last leg” at 2:50’ish hrs. into the ride and about 2 miles away from the vehicles. Even though it was raining in Olympia, we had only a mist and a light wind throughout the ride – no puddles on the trail and NO MUD!
