Two nights ago we headed up to Moscow Mountain in an attempt to find the course for this weekend's Moscow Mountain Madness mountain bike race: http://palouseroadrunners.org/RunningRoutes/MMM-Map.htm.
Since the trails on the mountain really are not marked at all, we managed to get ourselves a little lost, and darkness was coming quickly. We found a descending gravel road, which at least got us off of the singletrack, and was definitely taking us to the bottom of the mountain. We got to the bottom and ended up on back roads, but it was so dark that we could barely tell where we were. In any case, we were not near our car. A few miles on dusty gravel roads brought us to familiar territory, and we made it back to the car well after 8 pm.
We were starving after our adventure, so a stop at Patty's (http://www.pattysmexicankitchen.com/) for burritos was in store. FYI: Patty's has the best, and most authentic, Mexican food on the Palouse. Their tamales are particularly good!
We never did get to ride the whole course for Sunday, but we're still going to give it a try. It's practice for cyclocross, right?
