Mountain Biking 2:17:00 [3] 19.6 mi (8.6 mph) +3382ft
shoes: Viathon M1 GX
Parked at the upper lot after dropping the kids off. First ride after rebuilding the shifter to make sure it is working. The new shifter cable stretched so much that I couldn't adjust the barrel anymore and I had to stop midride tighten the cable on the Der.
Rode lots of new trails. Started with Running Cedar and saw a sidetrail I wanted to try on the way back. Looked for the trail off the top through the private property to Stonecutters and finally found it. Took my own route off the spur first until I found the trail and then backtracked it. Realized I never found it because I was always looking for it on hilltops but it comes off the saddle.
Rode Snyder's the opposite way this time with no crashing (or braking bikes). Both Wavelength and Mineral Way were fun downhills. Chimney was fun heading over to Farm.
Then went over to McDonald and rode there. Tightened the shift cable after the first climb. Then busted my tire as I started to descend and had to add a tube, Had lots of Stan's and couldn't see a big whole so not sure why it was leaking. Will have to assess.
Then rode back with one more climb (legs were pretty toasted by this point). Couldn't take the Running Cedar sidetrail because I ran out of time from the mechanicals. Will have to come back for it.
Solid amount of climbing. Strong times until the final climb with a strong final descent.
