Hi, Do I have enough posts to start my own ride thread?
Screw it. I'm doing it anyway...
Where did you ride last night? What about today?
I went for a xc ride last night and was served a heeping helping of my own ass. I haven't done too many xc rides lately and I am way out of shape. To top if off it was around 90 degrees out. I was on the verge of a gastric purge on almost every climb. I probably rode an hour and 15 minutes before giving up. When I bailed we had ridden around 8.5 miles of single track. The rest of the crew kept going and I cruised 2 miles back to my truck via the road.
The only thing that kept me even close to the other riders was that I was on my freeride bike and I could bomb the downhills and catch back up to them on the next climb. Unfortunately it also meant that I was always last so I never got a break when everyone collected at trail intersections. Oh well. It was fun. I'll probably do it again in a week or two. It was a slow ride to work today for sure.
