Saturday Long Ride

We had some work to do on a property in Ogden so I packed my biking gear and planned to ride home.  I was going to hit the trailways along the Weber River and was hoping they would take me all the way home.  I was mistaken.  There were many times I didn't know where I was and wondered if I was even going the right direction!  Suddenly, I came to the end of the paved trail and just a dirt trail went off into the distance.  I was confused and thought for sure the paved trail would pick up again.  So I did a stupid thing and started walking my bike through the dirt and mud.....in my biking shoes.  Dumb, dumb, dumb.  I walked about 1/2 mile before I turned around to figure out a different way home.  I was literally walking around in the middle of nowhere!  I finally found a road, pulled out my phone GPS (thank goodness for technology!) and figured out how to get home.  Put in 20 miles on the bike today and it's starting to not feel like such a lofty goal to bike 50.
