Outdoor day
Mountain biking
This was somewhat of a miraculous day. I had worked the night before and was up all night so took a nap in the morning and hence didn't have enough daylight to drive somewhere that would be legal to ride. So we were just going to ride our mountain bikes up and down the hill on the road from home for exercise/intervals/suffering. We did one lap and on our way down the fire road saw a trail shooting into the woods and I said 'hey let's give it a go'. We thought maybe we'd get 10 feet before the overhead was too low or the trail just disintegrated...but-no! It was the entry to a pretty epic trail system! In OUR backyard! It felt like magic, like stepping into Narnia. And it's good single track too! Tough stuff with features, jumps, burms. A tad muddy this time of year but should dry out nicely. And lots and lots of opportunity for exercise with punchy ups and step downs. It's going to be an absolutely amazing asset. Challenging enough to help me develop as a rider and plenty of trail to not feel like you're riding in circles...AND- it's right here! I could ride it after work in the summer. So exciting. Made me feel free again in the middle of feeling so stifled. So full of gratitude and excited for what the magical forrest will give to my in my future.
