Oh, I Give Up
This morning...the sun is out. Not blue-sky out. But there's sunlight. It's still supposed to rain later on today, but I bet that I could've made the trek without getting very wet, and I would've had company at the hostel. Sigh.
Clearly, I need to stop obsessing about the weather reports, because I keep zigging when I should zag and end up cooling my heels when I should be spinning them.
So, the rationalization now is that I needed to dry my gear out, see? And it'll take awhile to repack, because it's scattered all over the place. Yeah, that's it.
At any rate...I plotted out tomorrow's route on the GPS, and it weighs it at a somewhat more reasonable 55 miles. Just two climbs - one at 780 feet over 5.2 miles, another at 510 feet over 1.2 miles - and there's also a lot of lesser, up-and-down terrain. So it'll be a long day, for sure.
With that in mind, I need to go out and start carbo-loading. Pancakes!
LATER:
It didn't rain.
Not. One. Drop.
