biking race (mountain biking) 12:55:00 [3] *** 50.0 mi (15:30 / mi)
slept:2.0

Mountain Biking leg from hell. Some ok trails in Canaan Valley, then unbikable uphill on Allegheny trail, fire road, knee deep large river ford, more uphill fireroads, then flattish trail with blowdowns and washed-out portions, more Allegheny trail shown on map to follow along a river, but rerouted to go over a couple steep unridable ridges. Finished in a reasonable amount of time with sore butts and searing/painful sun-burned shins (from the paddle) that got whacked dozens of times by deadfall and low vegetation. Did I mention hike-a-bike? Also hot as hell weather.

Hiked the indistinct but well blazed portion Allegheny trail to Wildell. Took twice as long as expected because of nightfall and searching for blazes on trees. People falling asleep

Hike across Dolly sods, descend down to Timberline. Foggy at night. Some trails more like bogs than trails. Good thing we scouted the trail last week and memorized the route. Otherwise you will likely wander 8 extra miles.
