A little road to get to the trails never hurt anyone. Most people would drive, then again, most people aren't training for 100 mile mountain bike races...
I like combining the road and trail in one ride, Keeps you honest and gives you time to work on pedaling circles...
Once you get to the trails I always forget about the long road ride out, I've gotten myself in trouble this way but I can't resist...
Wheel sucker? Or a painful reminder to stay off the brakes?
Going home, we quickly realized why we were so fast on the way out. Needless to say, the smiles were all turned upside down at this point...
Feeling depleted, a couple of roadies passed us. They went by so quick I thought It was Liz Hatch and Andy Schleck or something. They must have been chasing pretty hard because shortly after it unraveled for them, We gave chase and pulled them back rather quickly. When we went by the man, he had gained 30 lbs and the woman aged 30 years and both were weaving like a drunkard on the hills. It was like Liz and Andy had pulled off to take a pee and let the stunt doubles take over. I was almost embarrassed for chasing....Almost!
My rides tend to sneak up on you. A nice steak and some fresh roasted veggies will cure all of that...
Thanks for coming out, I had a great time...
