Steve dropping off the rock ledge on the lower Ridge Trail.
Rode Galbraith with Steve Hindman on a beautiful fall morning. Unfortunately, my new $500 rear wheel went out before we got to the upper Ridge Trail (sounded like the freewheel), so I had to abort and haul the bike down to Fairhaven again.
In the afternoon, Lane, Laurel, Shanna, Smokey and I went out to the house in Sumas to continue emptying it out. It was like diving into the wreck of a prior life. I find this process very difficult emotionally, which may explain why I had a dull headache all day.
Approximately 1100 verts.
This is an excerpt from Vert Quest, which chronicles The Man Known As Mongo's pursuit of the World Record for climbing on a mountain bike, 404,000 vertical feet, or the vertical equivalent of 13 sea-level-to-summit ascents of Mt. Everest during a 12 month period.
