Willem's Wild Swift Sojourn
Saturday, June 24, 2017, just a few days after the official longest day of the year, nine hearty off-road cycling enthusiasts set out to make a new "longest day of the year." Tim, Kenny & Evelyn, Andre & Karin, Willem, Jeff and Shutt met at The 204 for a late breakfast and to convoy to Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park to begin our Swift Solstice Bikepacking Adventure!
(click this first pic to see all of the photos I took this weekend)
We met up with Dennis at the Preserve, paid for our overnight parking and set out on Military Trail, which was a nice ride approx. five miles before we turned off of the elevated shell road and began pedaling through the Prairie in earnest. It was hot. It was wet in spots. It was deep in others. And it was challenging for anybody who was acclimated to this terrain and weather. For those few not used to off-road riding, it felt as if they bit off more than they could stomach.
"There's three baby alligators," Ken warned Willem as the latter rolled up to the group. As Ken, Willem and the rest of us know, baby gators mean there's a mama gator nearby. "We'll be fine. Let's go," Willem said, leading the way.
Most water crossings that we encountered were shallow enough that we could ride through them or at least attempt to do so with confidence. This one was not rideable.
It was hot out on the Kissimmee Prairie and we took five whenever a shaded hammock presented itself...whether we needed it or not. Hint: we needed it! Coffee Nut M&Ms were new to all of us and proved to be handy with their candy coating and caffeine kick.
A few days before we arrived at Lock S-65A on Kissimmee River, the dike washed out from all the rains in the previous weeks. At about 100 feet across, we figured it was at least 10 feet deep. And we saw plenty of big, mama-sized gators in the area and swimming was going to be a last-ditch effort only. We were already behind schedule and this set us back an additional 2 hours. If felt longer but only because we were tired, hot & thirsty.
Long-Story short: Steve, the gentleman with the row boat hauled us across the Kissimmee one person & bike at a time. For the longer, red-tape bureaucratic version, talk to any one of the adventurers on this trip. They can tell you how it went down.
Noel in the safety vest and Steve rowing the boat: Our Trail Angels for this trip. And Rowena. We just can't say enough good things about this woman. Not only does she support Willem in everything he does, because his endeavors often include us: we are the indirect (but very directly) beneficiaries of her time and efforts. BTW: everybody loved the parsnips dish Rowena!
After our one-by-one river crossing on a rowboat, the final three miles into camp at Rattlesnake Hammock was easing sailing! We all pitched our respective camps and then pitched into to get dinner going. Bonus guests: Billy & Rebekah were at our beck and call, showing up with a canoe when Kenny called and said that it seemed we were in dire straights and needed help! Even after we found reliable passage, the Perezes still came to hangout and listen to our tales: tall and not so much. Thanks a bunch guys!
Sunday morning: It was much cooler and by that I mean marginally cooler. We had hot instant outmeal and hot coffee.
Big change of plans due to our designated return trail being washed out (in the exact same place as our trail on the way out) and Rebekah & Billy showing up last night: Rowena hitched a ride home, leaving Willem's truck with us to use to run back to Kissimmee Prairie to retrieve our other vehicles and then BACK to camp to get the rest of us and our gear.
While Willem, Jeff, Andre, Kenny & Dennis were driving back to Fort Basinger, Karin, Tim & I rode into "town," which was really the Westgate River Resort and back. Roundtrip it was 16 miles and the ice cream, croissants, coffee and toilet all made it worthwhile.
Click the map below for the "Relive" video.By 1130 a.m. Sunday, we were all back at Rattlesnake Hammock. Bikes, hammocks, tents and cooler all loaded up across four vehicles and eight tired, exhausted, dirty & stinky* souls made the trip once more to River Ranch for lunch. *Karin & Evelyn, amazingly enough, didn't stink like the rest of us. Shutt had a salad. After lunch, we all headed home!
Big thanks to Willem & Andre for organizing this but also to everybody who showed up to support them and make this trip a fun and successful adventure for the newbies among us.
Final word is that we all look forward to the next; so long as it's in winter or much further north.
