My fitness level has been a big question on my mind for weeks and weeks after the Lymne disease situation a few weeks back.
Last week with all the hiking to get to the climbs and the fact we rock climbed 8 days in a row was very postive, yes I was way tired but I kept going strong till the last day.
Well last night I did my first Mtn bike ride for three weeks, last week I was away climbing and the 2 weeks before I had a rotten cold.
Anyhow I had a good strong ride last night @ GRAYVILLE my legs felt good from the start. My techinical ability was all clicking and I was having a blast I was even climbing well , thats big for Me !!!! I was holding my own and I even got out near the front of the pack and did the fast section after the Mini Golf course + The Playground . I was dicing it up with Ken + Doug when Ken said hey your riding very strong after your big climbing week and your like 10 yerars older than me whats up. Well that was all I needed to hear and it was full cylinders for quite a long section . The three of us got down to the bridge and fell off our bikes all excited about how CRAZY fast we were riding . This is what riding is all about - You go out for a killer Cardio work out hang our with your buds get some competitive stuff going and hang out and yack about the great ride when its all over.
What a great night!!!
Gary --if you read this I rode your Blurr again for I think the 3rd time . That bike is so unbelievably fast on the down hills it's not funny . It climbs real well also. Thanks again for letting me use it at will.
