The poison oak is out for the season. I was throwing my bike over a downed tree yesterday and stepped into a fresh patch. All the gear got a healthy wash.
This sounds terrible. You are a masochist.
I’m planning on looking like a doofus while learning to mtb. I’m also going to run a lot and do a 30 mi run on section J of the pct. I’m also gonna do a multi-day ride. I’m thinking a loop around the Hood Canal where all of the campgrounds are within about 30mi of each other. I don’t trust myself on longer days in the saddle yet.
