Outdoor day- mountain biking
Sandy Ridge x2, 20 miles, 4000 feet elevation gain, around 4 hours
We had a strange break in the weather, nice and dry and warm for a few days. So got out on the mountain bike trails! This is a trail I have only ever rode one lap so two was a cool accomplishment. However, it is still only one fifth of the race, about one third of the elevation gain for the race though. The race is 100 miles and 11000 feel elevation gain. I had a few issues. First ascent my low back got pretty tight, second ascent it was pretty uncomfortable. Could just be that I haven't been on the bike in two months and was trying to push the pace. If it keeps happening, I'll work on trying to find a better position on the bike. It's just the muscles, nothing else. Also, on the second climb I felt low on fuel. I think I started snacking too late. This was a great experience though, so happy to start practicing it now. Thanks!
