6,000 Feet of Pure Love

  April 19, 2010
Pain is Winter leaving the body

Yes, it was ‘that ride’. The one that reminds you the LOVE and PAIN of riding at elevation and in the dirt. I ‘sat in’ for the first 2.5 hours and then did some accelerations on some of the climbs, and they felt great. Blew up a little at the end of the 3rd hard climb. THe pushes at the very end were pretty brutal. But – it was Mountain trail riding at it’s best. And it was only the beginning.
