13: The Road to Wisdom Part 2

A bit of a low energy/flat affect day. Spent the first half of the day riding trails that, as part of the Butte 100 course, I have now written four times in as many weeks.

Descended out of the Highlands in the early afternoon and began the climb up the other side. After a few miles of ATV trail, the route surprised me by turning into mostly singletrack for the rest of the day.

Perched up on a lovely hill this evening overlooking the Deer Lodge Valley. Somehow the Bear Gulch to Fly Creek section wasn’t on my radar/map, so missed that short section of singletrack.
