Hooked up with my regular group mid morning and rode out of the Stone Road side of Nassahegan. Started with some of the usual stuff to warm up a bit and then headed for a rip through the Stone Road rock garden which was a hoot! Almost made it through clean and only stepped off the pedals twice. We popped back onto Stone Road and headed up a small climb and down through some mini dirt jumps on the way back to the car to refill the water vessels.
We then rode back up Stone Road took a right and headed up some insane climb which lead eventually to a super fast and lengthy downhill. After the downhill we headed across the fire road over the logs and did the Fat Kid climb which at this point in the ride wasn't really very fun and then downhill back to the cars. We managed about 8.7 miles in a little over 2.25 hours.
I felt like I rode pretty well today and with each time out on the bike my speed, balance and ability to ride over stuff is getting noticeably better. My fitness is getting better as well and can't imagine how great I'll feel at the end of the summer.
Here's our track from today.
