It is always a great experience to through yourself into terrain that you are not necessary used to riding and hope for the best result. I ended up feeling like I rode a jackhammer for about 220 miles, got thrown down a mountain of boulders, dreams of doing leather work in a small cabin, blowing myself out of a boat in a middle of a pond at night and lusting for one more ride in the Rothrock National Forest. Wait that is exactly what happened, well if you replace jackhammer with singlespeed, but basically the same thing.
