Notes:
Dropped car full of everyone's stuff at Sakatah State Park on Friday
afternoon, then biked back to campus (~33 miles) along the bike trail
by the same name and then Hwy 3.
Left from Carleton in two groups, one for people who wanted to go
farther and a shorter distance group. Biked to Sakatah, got car, set up
tents, ate, made merry. Next morning, biked back to campus. One person
drove the car back.
Make sure everyone wears helmets, brings water on the ride, etc. The
slower group did 33 miles in like 2.5 hours, the faster group did ~75
miles in ~6 hours; they biked for a longer way on the trail. It's good
to have a reservation for the campsite.
