Day 4: Jefferson National Forest to Brush Mountain Wilderness | Stop Time > Ride Time
After two days of late morning departures, we perfected our unhurried rhythm* by stopping for very long breaks by babbling brooks to wash our clothes and filter water and to photograph scenic vistas. We were thoroughly enjoying ourselves. We were doing this before, but now we were on a mission. * Here might be a good time to mention that none of this riding was easy. Hauling an extra 30-40 lbs of food, water, clothing, and gear up and down mountains on your bike is nothing to shake a stick at, especially while navigating roads of crushed stone and dirt, keeping your balance on rugged terrain, and traversing hairpin turns, not to mention adjusting layers for the wildly varying temperatures.
