Today was the final day of the year for me. With 2 skiing options under 2 hours away, my free time will be heading there.
That said, it was a pretty good way to end the year. I only had 1 hour to ride and I was nursing the leg most of the way. For some reason though, everything was a challenge today. I don't know why but things rolled slower, I had less endurance, and it just felt off. Climbing was god awful. Watching me ride was like watching old people eat....slow and sloppy.
I was shocked to see a semi-full lot. As I was gearing up, two other guys took off and not more than 15 minutes later, I bumped into another group of four on the "O" trail extension.
It felt great to be out again. With my time constraints, I rolled a pretty tasty 5.65 mile loop. Knights woods -> "O" Extension -> Washbasin loop -> (unnamed trail) -> Lanzo -> Ragan -> Ginn -> (second unnamed trail) -> Part of Batcave -> Fox East -> Done.
Things were wet. Very wet. But the weather was great. Slightly chilly, sunny, and breezy. The best part for me was I hit a new milestone....403 miles on the year. Nothing like what others on the board did but for only my second season, I am proud of it.
Here are a few photos:
