I'm up to 169.1 miles of the Ice Age Trail complete. Just 970 or so miles left. I started self shuttling myself with my bike. I drive to a trailhead, bike as far down as I want, and then run, walk or hike back to my car. Yesterday was my first attempt at doing this with hiking boots and a small day pack. Totally worked. The next step will be to figure out how to self shuttle for an overnight. No way in hell am I biking with an overnight pack. I figure I'll have to dump the bag, drive, and then bike back to my bag.

Biking and then running is weird. It makes my legs feel rubbery for a few minutes. Maybe I should pick up triathlon.

i have this "problem" with biking then walking. if i do ~20 miles on my bike, my legs get used to the rotation. if i stop to read, they seize up pretty hard. walking after that is really weird.

stretching helps, but it's annoying to have to stretch at every interval.
