Now you very likely experienced something similar to the story that I'm just going to share with you.

I was on Vancouver Island, British Columbia exploring some logging roads, some back roads,

and I'm looking to try and connect one area to another.

The thing is what these logging roads is.

The logging roads, while they're in use when they're actually doing logging,

they're maintained and everything works fine.

But as soon as they're done, they fall into disrepair. They often remove bridges, they'll decommission the roads.

So you end up with this network of roads that appear to lead somewhere, but quite often it's just a bunch of dead ends.

And I'm using my GPS which shows these roads on there,

but I keep getting sort of misinformed.

I go down and find a bridge is out,

or find the trails not used, or washed out.

There's a lot of washouts and landslides. So it's kind of fun to try and find your way.

Anyway, so I'm this one day I'm trying to find my way. I'm trying to connect two sections of the island really so and make my way over a past

but I'm just having no luck and I'm by myself and I'm riding along and it's it's a

warm day out the sun's really beating down and this trail starts to get narrower and

narrower and becomes less and less used and then pretty soon the brush is

rubbing my arms and I get to this one section that goes down and it starts to turn around and I realize the road is completely washed out ahead of me right at the corner there.

So I have to stop right there. So I stop very quickly and there is no place to turn around. I mean there's no room there. I've got brush at the sides. It's very difficult and like I said it's hot out so it's a pretty sort of one of those uncomfortable situations.

But luckily, luckily, I had a skill that I used to turn my bike around

in a few seconds instead of grunting and sweating and pushing and pulling and fighting brush and everything in a few seconds

I was flipped around the other way and riding again with a breeze in my face.
