Mica denied



Willy and I had planned to get up to Mica Peak (Washington, not Idaho -- we're pretty sure there are two Mica Peaks) via Henry road today. Weird stuff, private property, scary dog, and a freaky vibe going on up there. We did some stealthing and creeping around in an attempt circumvent the freakiness, but after a while we decided to back out. 


So we came back over Saltese Flats, up Linke, then Sands, Bruno... this route should sound familiar to a handful of cyclists. Good ride. Lots of climbing and wind. I'm tired.

Man, you guys seem to have a lot of great trails up in Spokane!

Oh, and my "word verification" word just asked me to spell "bummer." I thought that was pretty funny. :)

From the looks of it, mica, no. But ripped quads, yes.

Smart to heed the freaky vibes - it's only a bike ride and there's always tomorrow.

RJ: It's true, we have gobs of trails, mountain jeep trails, and dirt roads all over the place here.

Pat: good perspective.

To us, they are called trails. To private property owners, they are called shooting lanes. We qualify as 'big game' and that started April 20th.

Jeff: you don't know how right you are. The home-jobber targets and shooting range we stumbled upon in the private-property back woods was a critical element in the freaky vibe factor.

So much for the "Meet up at Mica Mecca" ride I was so looking forward to!
