Dirty Bismarck MTB loop, with a detour through downtown Louisville for avocado toast & iced tea on my way home.

I wanted to get out earlier to beat the heat & crowds. But, as it turned out, it wasn't that hot* and there weren't too many people on the trail (it's narrow single track in a lot of stretches -- hard to pass without stopping).

I was dreading the long & steep Coalton hill with its several false summits, but I made it up in one go, without stopping. Yay.

I stopped a few times to take photos, loan out my pump, and give directions, and otherwise went at a casual pace. 2:39 total time, 2:27 moving time. Good news: this didn't aggravate my foot at all.

*It is now 98 degrees at 2:45 pm.
