Curmudgeon
I spend most of the morning of section 16 hating motorcyclist (off road specifically) while I push my bike for hours at a time. Section 16 and 17 of the CT allow dirt bikes and it’s not for the better. The trail is steep which isn’t new, what’s new is that it is unrideable in many sections due to extream erosion. Even the flat sections are chewy, rocky and unpleasant. We avaerge less than 5kms an hour for the day and make it 40 of our intended 60kms. As a redemption for the day the last 5kms are smooth and lovely single track and we find a good ol cowboy camp, build a big fire and sit up well past dark admirering the stars.
