Description: There are 2 rides to choose from today:  Crazy & Sane.  In the 1990's we use to do rides called Mountain Goat Rides.  Those rides climbed 1,000 feet for every 10 miles.  It's hard to find a route that begins and ends at one location that can meet the requirements of a Mountain Goat Ride, but the long ride on this day is 4 feet short of a Mountain Goat Ride.  Well I tried.  Rock Creek Road and Mosquito Road are true backwoods roads.  If you like the climbing and scenic low traveled roads this is the ride for you.  Happy Cinco De Mayo.
