Ha! What a day. I’ve been looking forward to Falls Canyon from the outset. It’s my one truly unique contribution to my route—a slight detour off the GDMBR to ride some truly excellent and seldom ridden single track.

The climb up Falls Canyon and the descent down Lake Creek Trail didn’t disappoint. Falls Canyon is very ridable and exposes some interesting geology. The Lake Creek descent is techy, fun, and serves up some spectacular views.

Aside from my legs looking like they might have been extras from The Passion of the Christ due the bushes at the bottom, this section went great.

Then… I had occasion to learn something about myself: though I am often persistent, I lack that should be the companion and guide of persistence: judgment. In fact, truth be told, I am more likely to persist in a bad idea than a good one. In my hopes of finding a way to avoid 30 minutes of extra road riding, I spent three hours bumping into private property, cursing, getting lost, and humping my bike over downed trees in the woods. What should have been a chill day ending in Lincoln by 3 PM turned into a full day ordeal. Eventually I did find a route through, and definitely wish I hadn’t even tried in the first place.

Treated myself to a hotel room and hamburger in Lincoln.

Listening to: my entire catalog of Spotify “liked” songs.
