When

Friday, 2015-05-15

Where

Trail 100, from Tatum, to the 40th St Trailhead

Duration

½ hour

Notable

First point-to-point hike of the year

The logistics of a point-to-point hike are usually more complicated than of a loop hike—what with needing a vehicle at each trailhead—but today I brute-forced my way through those complications and did a point-to-point from the Tatum Trailhead to the 40th St Trailhead by walking with my bike.

Coinciding with my hike was a mountain biker going the same direction as me and who passed me early on in my hike, then whom I passed five minutes later while he was stopped and checking his phone, then who passed me again before I finally passed him near the end of my hike. The final time I passed him—he was again stopped and checking his phone—I told him he was averaging “walking speed.” He said the real riding would start Saturday morning.
