I decided to honor our nation's heroes by going out and sweating my ass off while riding around the woods of Burlington. I under estimated just how hot and humid it was going to be, and felt pretty drained early on. The 10 hours of eating cheeseburgers and drinking beer in the sun the day before probably didn't help either. I was pretty dehydrated before I even started, great planning on my part. Starting at around noon was also an excellent idea... :roll:
I ended up with just about 10 miles; Starting from sessions>across the street>up to 2 bears>dirt road>fat kid climb (where I decided to shorten the ride)>high life>blue trail/cornwall DH>69er>cemetery>jug>scoville twisties>truck trail>back to car.
Most even moderate climbs kicked my ass. Before starting the fun part of the cornwall DH I took an extended break because I was starting to feel light headed. And there were plenty of shorter breaks mixed in for good measure. I also stopped for a bit to take on a little armoring project towards the end of the Scoville twisties which ate up some time. All told I was out for about 2:45, with moving time of 1:50. About 5.5 MPH average moving speed.
I took some GoPro footage just for BackLoafRiver, but I haven't had a chance to go through it yet.
