Wheeeeeeew! What a day to end the trip on. We start with a huge steep climb "Dump Climb" up the now-paved Dusty Rd. That lets us take a nice trail "BLT" around towards Chapman Falls which are pretty cool. We then go in through some lovely trails around the local airport and start climbing our way up trails and gravel roads. Some lovely doubletrack in there. At the midpoint of the day, we reached the top of a black run, "Mach Chicken" which had a huge descent and a huge climb next ("Must-see" in the area according to TrailForks). I encouraged Deb to ignore it, and continue climbing up towards the lovely Hwy 103 and 102 trails, while I would do it, then the tough climb, and start riding back her way if I didn't see her (we'd meet in an hour). So I did the run (kindof like Bobsled in North Van), and then climbed up, no Deb, so I kept riding. We met on Hwy 103 which was full of aging wooden structures. I would've turned around if we weren't meeting up - but trips do add some odd pressure. So we continued on, and on, and on. Pushing Deb a bit past her comfort zone of endurance. After some falls, she was mostly done for the day, and as per plan, decided to exit early at Sprockids park. I decided to complete the route, and took trails descending steeply down into Langdale, and then rode back via Gibsons, stopped at our Airbnb to shower, met her for dinner, then we rode back at the end of the night for a 12am finish. Wheeew!
