Ride Description: A new route to find new singletrack. Namakagon and Patsy Lake singletrack. Holy cats!!! They build it fast and they buid it good! There are a couple more miles of new singletrack from N18 to the N30 area. Some very cool stuff all with ride-around options, excellent! They are combining the Namakagon & Patsy Lake Trails for the new singletrack, a good idea, this may be my new favorite trail when it's done.

Today's ride started out slow, with chest pains on the initial climb, then I felt great after that.
I haven't ridden the Namakagon doubletrack in a while, now I know why. It was overgrown, wet (from the earlier rain) and tick infested. And after the sun came out, the biting flies were awful.
I rode the newest Patsy Lake singletrack backwards and then returned on it. An excellent and fun ride in both directions and I was feeling pretty good.
Then, I found the new Namakagon singletrack, I rode it backwards to see where it started. It was pretty soft and slow near the tool site and it drained most of my energy. A Gel would have been great, but with the flies so bad in the sunny areas, I was afraid to stop.
I saw the new "Log Ride" and "Big Rock Rollover", kool!
