I was up before sunrise and back on I-90 east heading towards Altoona. I arrived home at noon and spent the afternoon putting away my gear and washing/waxing the van so I could turn it back over to Susi in at least as good a condition as when I left last Sunday.
This trip was great. The trail conditions were overall very good and I was glad to be able to ride my touring bike for most of the ride. A hardtail mountain bike would really have been the best choice for this trip but I don't own one. Of the 108.8 miles of the trail, I rode 80 miles give or take, but the miles I rode were done in both directions for a total of 160 miles. Hopefully someday I'll be back in the area and can ride the 3.6 miles between Pringle and White Elephant trailheads, the 3 or 4 miles between Custer south to the highway crossing, the 10.5 miles between The Mountain and Hill City trailheads and the 10 mile section between Rochford and Dumont trailheads.
