So I took off around 4pm today out of Scoville. Hit the cometary and proceeded to do a couple of things today:
#1 - Push myself to go faster on my solo routes
#2 - try to stay in higher gears more often, sticking in the middle front ring more often then usual. Pushing to stay in 2-* gears.
#2 - Go over the handle bars in the Single Track Pines... before the first fire trail WTF ?? I hit some damn root and went over.. probably the softest fall I took in my entire life.. I was laughing hysterically.. and puzzled beyond belief.
Brush off and move out...
Went well into the rock gardens at the end of the single tracks. Trying to push faster speeds in them I had a couple of hiccups, but for the most part cruised through them.
As the end of the single track came.. I started getting a bit nauseous.. well hydrated but I think the wedding I went to yesterday.. the booze.. the food.. hit me... 12+ hours of it.. anyhow.. pulled through that with a short break just past that first rough part on the fat boy climb.
Wrapped up FB and gave the ledge one hard hit, dug deep, and up I went. I ended up making it in about 2 bike lengths.. right before the clean rock area.
I then proceeded to the DH... fun stuff.. was feeling great at the top and then the bottom as well.. Went left at that T(never went right yet).. and made that little hill climb.. good stuff.
Ate a power bar and kept hydrating at the road.. made the last part of my ride much better.
Took the Hinman home, thought about the 69r.. decided to finish easy today and just run the Hinman.
Hoping to get a couple RAW this week.. perhaps Tomorrow.. and trying to make Sunday am available as well.. as I see some of you guys do some riding then.
