715 Death March

Went for what was supposed to be a quick 2 hr ride (read 6 hr death march) to check out a couple techy descents in Monument. On this trip I encountered snow/rain, running out of food, almost running out of water, and discovering that the map I had was way outdated. In addition to this I was treated to Pisgah like ruggedness, in that this was the first trail system that I felt like I was actually in the woods, not on some in town, urban trail system. I was also informed that if you have a new car and are not used to it's blind spots, you are not responsible for clipping cyclists on the road, while passing and turning in front of them.
