Buzz Wins

I spent two hours getting lost in Riverside State Park this morning. My intent was to do mostly easy riding and not do much climbing. I've never ridden the trails in the north end of the park so I tried following Trail 25 once I crossed Seven Mile Road. Next thing you know I'm going down into ravines and back up again. I ended up doing a ton of climbing--and a little walking. I got off the marked trail at some point, but I was still on some sort of trail, and ended up in a scoured out dry creek bed. I had no idea where I was. (I checked the map later and now I know why it's called Deep Creek. And it wasn't my first time crossing it today.) I could hear traffic above me so I hefted the bike up the steep embankment and came out at Seven Mile Road and North Inland Road. Yay! I found myself and knew how to get back to where I started.

 Buzz kill not two minutes into my ride.
