Fuel EX 9.8. Cloudy with periods of light rain, fairly cool temps @ 67-72 degrees, almost non-existent East winds @< 5 mph. According to my two weather apps from the day/night before, it was not supposed to rain... Roads were wet from about Darien to Palos and while there were dry spots in the woods, there were also periods of light drippage. Trails were mostly fine but some small puddles and surface mud on the Stonehouse trail. I purposely dropped the planned route as some of the hills and trails in the Triangle would have been near impossible if wet. So I started at Wolf Road Woods and went East on the Stonehouse trail, jumped off onto the Yellow gravel trail. returned to Stonehouse from Burrito Hill to the Gravity Cavity Bullwhip/Hickory Smoked and Resurrection Trails, then a loop around Horse Collar and Tomahawk Slough. Plenty of climbing, me and the just washed bike were a muddy mess at the end. I saw about 20 other riders on the trail and maybe a 1/2 dozen hikers. Saw a group of about 6 Wounded Warriors on triple/quad mount bikes riding on the Yellow trail. No critters spotted anywhere. My pace was pretty slow with all the slick spots, interesting ride doing the Stonehouse in both directions. Stopped by the Geneva Ale House for lunch after the ride.
