I don't mind clearing the webs and catching the ticks. I don't always see the best track either. It sucks when you're all tangled up in briar or boulders and you're buddies are laughing at you as they pass you by, but it's always easier to catch up than lead so we all get our laughs in.


On morning bike rides or after rain storm I learned my partner always wanted me be the lead man to clear the webs. I hate clearing webs!! grin After this one trail I must have cleared 20 webs and I said why am I always on spider web duty? Which he replied, "Because you're dependable."
