Mountain biking

As I approach middle-age, something about spending hours on my butt making a chain go around and around gets more and more appealing...

Training ride

I rode my standard loop with strong winds. Strong enough that on the back stretch, I hit a top speed of 46.5 mph on a fairly level section with one brief downhill. I also rode most of the Thatcher Park Road at 20+ MPH with a strong tailwind. The headwind at the end, after the downhill on route 85 really slowed me down, as did the headwind at the beginning. I was slower getting to Altamont, but felt better on the climb and finished it faster than last time by a few minutes. I was able to stand out of the saddle longer and with more strength. 29.36 miles in 1:51.
Altamont: 36 minutes
Corner: 1:07
