Called in well to work one day last week, decided I needed a day off. Mental health day. I wanted to check out the Palmetto Trail. Apparently other people play hooky from work too, lots of other people if you believe this article. I like that the article uses the work truant, maybe that is why I like playing hooky, I like to be truant. The bad girl in me no doubt!

This part of the Palmetto Trail goes from Peak to Pomaria, a 6.5 mile section. Warning, it is uphill, both ways, all THIRTEEN miles. Don't ask me how that is possible, but that is the way it is. Don't believe me, go ride it and tell me what you think. I rarely switched gears, never went fast or slow (unless you count the time I almost ran over a snake) and trudged along in the same couple gears for all 13 miles. Can't say I am a big fan, at least on a mountain bike. Hopefully it was just some good mental health therapy because I definitely feel better! Truancy is fun!!
