Since Dirtfest got cancelled and Mark had the days off, he talked others into taking the day and doing something ... epic. So yeah, why not, the southern MoCo Epic route (ignoring that while the month does in fact start with A it's APRIL not AUGUST). Lovely day, first truly warm day of the year; no wetness; trails in really good shape (a few mudholes, but mostly pnut buttery) and not too many people on our chosen route. Well, except for the towpath section ...

Started at MD 28/Seneca Creek trailhead because climbing that last bit when tired is not easy. And completely the right call. The last 6 miles (Seneca Bluffs) were challenging as we fought off cramps and just took it easy on all those climbs. Bunch of tired OGs at the end. But probably the best ride of the year so far. Arm held up, even after PT on Thursday (OMG was it tired tho)... New bike rolls like a dream.
