Rained Out

with 2 comments

Rained off and on all night to saturate everything and then drizzled all day.

Neither of us wanted our bikes and bodies to get covered with grime.

Alternate plan:

Huge breakfast at Sparta Family Restaurant.

Tour the Deke Slayton Memorial Space & Bicycle Museum.

Newest Mission Impossible movie and more popcorn than humans should eat.

Drove to our second campground in Elroy where there is an epic climb to get from the parking lot to the sites.

Needed a shower after that workout, which was handily available at the trailhead.

Tents up, but not drying out due to the persistent ongoing drizzle.

Fabulous time regardless the lack of pedaling.

Dreary morning
Rich with Deke
Self explanatory
My kind of curls
It’s much steeper than it looks
Even steeper than that

  1. sounds like the same weather that I had. The photos don’t do that hill any justice!

    • Hey, we avoided the culvert with the standing water!
      We happened upon a person with the DNR at a depot in Kendall and persuaded her to check our trail passes for a photo op.
      Sunshine today!
