Sujith has declared the time has finally come for him to brave the so-called “seven switchbacks from hell.” And I think I’m ready to brave another mud-fest, ideally not equipped with a borrowed pair of white Lulu shorts (sorry Sujith). So if your legs are ready for a great climb and your washing machine is ready for a great quantity …

This will be an intermediate trip, …

Woah new trip difficulty just dropped?

Somehow Max and I, with all the riding we’ve done this semester, are yet to have hit two of our favorite descents in the GWNF.
