We had a great ride tonight. The mountains are amazing, and it’s great to get exercise and fresh air and be with my boys.
Tonight we followed a familiar trail for about 2/3s of the ride, but then we took a path I had never been up before. This trail has more aggressive climbs than I’m used to. It was also very rocky. Those two things, plus being tied from the effort to just get there in the first place, and that meant there were lots of parts I could bike up.
I have a new challenge. I’m sure strong riders go through that stuff without any trouble. I imagine with lots of practice I might be able to ride most of it. I’ll have to give it a try to see how much I can continue to improve.
