| Had intended to ride the south side of Galbraith, but Mark Adriance called on the cell phone just as I was leaving the car on Galbraith Lane and said he was waiting for one of his patients to go into labor. Since he was on the north side at St. Joseph's Hospital, we agreed to meet at Birch St.
It was a dark, rainy day which I celebrated by going down on the first roots you come to as you circle around the cable at the very bottom of the Ridge Trail. I hit my left knee (the other knee) hard on the handlebars, which pretty much set the tone for the ride. Mark out climbed me on his bike, and then after I loaned him mine, he really out climbed me on mine. On the down he stayed with me, and then passed me.
My legs felt weak after eight straight days and about 13,000 verts.
Approximately 1300 verts.
