Two hours of technical singletrack for ‘recovery’
1×60 min in 44×11
This was today’s bike practice routine. Of course there were also the warm up and cool down, but those are the boring parts. I rolled out on the Military Ridge Trail en route to the Blue Mound singletracks and kept the pace going pseudo strong along the way. The weather couldn’t have been better as the humidity seems to have cracked for the time being. This made for some excellent singletracking on fresh trails. The first ride on a trail is always an unique experience since gone is the sense of anticipation; one of the many satisfying experiences to have on the bike.
After a lot of tough trails and one gashed sidewall it was time to head home. At hour three it was easy to keep the pace fast and steady with thoughts of O2S flowing from mind to body. The flat and fast dirt grade was an excellent way to dial in the fitness for the drag race that’s soon to come. As was today’s ride, the Ore to Shore ought to be a good one. -TJ
