Maybe I used the title b4.

Spent quiet cloudless night @ corral. Troy didn’t call for AM ride so I am on my own. That was Plan B. I rode from corral attempting to make the ground agree w/ ride colored map. No shade, flat empty sky and desert sage and old sea bed rocks eroded in buttes and fins and side slopes. Fun trails. I rode a blue, a black, a blue, and finished on a greener. All ridable, what makes them harder is exposure on narrow trails w/ some tech features rolled in. Fun riding. Well built trails wandering up & down in & around land features. Just a few unavoidable sections climbed greater than 12%. I got to steer my bike, sit, spin, & steer. 2  1/2 hours out in sun, quit just after 12:00, temp was 79 w/ a gentle breeze blowing. Enjoyable ride.

Drove back into town looking for a visitor bureau for shower info. Struck out. Will try KOA out of town. Sleeping tonight up Dry Creek seeking shade. Found some cottonwood shade on a residential street for internet access.

Tomorrow evening is shop ride that I will stay for.

I have a dentist appointment 9/13 in Spokane, that is my pull date and location. I can find & enjoy rides between here & there, maybe stay some place to enjoy their, “You could ride here a week and still not get it all” trails. There is another day of riding @ McCoy flats should I choose. Now, i am cooking in the desert.
