Day 3 – 4;40 PM

Top Ten Tips for Climbing Sheep Mountain Backwards:

1. Do not tell your traveling partner, “Just relax and let the pedals do the work.”
2. Single track should be renamed “tightrope,” and biking it requires a stint in Cirque du Soleil.
3. Don’t start the climb at 3 PM in the afternoon.
4. The climb is longer than you think.
5. No one does this backwards, and you should ask yourself why you want to.
6. There are no coffee shacks or brew pubs along the way.
7. If you can’t pick up your bike, then turn around and go back to where you came from.
8. Don’t take someone you are trying to date for the first time.
9. Don’t drink out of the streams.
10. Don’t forget your camera.

Honorable mention by Mo: “Biking is good training for roller derby (see photo).”
