The MESSS
Kyle Balke, Lewis Kogan, Aaron Baldwin, and Matt Henderson joined me for this adventure. Lewis and Kyle joined me for the departure from my house at 4:10am. After 3 flats, we were running about an hour behind schedule. Matt began riding at Lolo Hot Springs and Aaron jumped in at the turn off for Elk Summit (near the Lochsa Lodge). Lewis transitioned to a mountain bike and Kyle and I continued on our road bikes. We all made it to Elk Summit and Matt, Aaron and I continued on foot for the 24 mile run/trek to the Blodgett trail head. It took us a little over 7 hours, but we made the trail head before dark. Noel met us with growlers of Cold Smoke and Double Haul, sandwiches, chips, cookies, apples, bananas, and Recoverite mix! Thanks you guys, and great work!
