Thanks for taking the time to tell this story. I was disappointed that the rain took the joy out of what would have been a longish but pleasant bike leg. Galen is right, 16b wasn’t there because I’d mismarked it on the master map…my bad. The rest of the bike leg would have been even colder than what you experienced since it involved at least three good descents. Thanks for coming out and we’re looking forward to seeing you next year.

Nice write-up!
For what it’s worth, I think you guys made the right call; 16b wasn’t there (as far as I know no one found it) and the rest of the bike was long, cold, wet, and muddy. For HOURS.

I’d never been that uncomfortable for that long before either, and getting the boats onto the water was a major pain.
