I started at Whiting, thinking I might be in shape enough to make it up the big Orange hill. Nope. Unfortunately I just didn't feel strong today and really didn't accomplish anything particularly impressive. It felt humid and I just wasn't feeling great.
I thought my tire was a bit low before I left but figured it was ok. Unfortunately I felt a bit out of control for about half my ride until I stopped and pumped it up more. For sure that helped a lot.
I rode the Red trail for the first time in years. Well, "rode". There are a lot of hills I walked after failing to climb. I'm continuously impressed by my past self and the hills I used to climb.
One thing that's different is the crazy workouts I used to do between riding. Can I push myself to do those again?
It's weird how certain parts of the trails have changed over the years. Some are obvious rerouting done by the trail crew and others are just erosion.
I did climb the final hill at the end of Green which used to trip up past me, so I guess that's something.
I met up with my wife at the end of the ride and she took a few pics.
