Cycling 2:30:00 [3]
Off to Hardwood with Goose and Bash.
We had a blast on the fast, swoopy Serious trail. Goose and I headed off a different direction than Bash. The Gnarly trail was more hammer-brake-hammer for me, trying to keep up with the flying Goose. I had to really sprint to get momentum to roll over rooty uphill turns, and have done zero sprinting what with all the ultra running training. After one long sustained climb with technical bits I could practically hear Phil the Tour de France commentator saying "oh dear, his legs just cracked".
After that I had more trouble on the technical bits due to deficiencies in the power dep't. Goose definitely out-climbed me there. There were a couple more technical spots where I had to wave the white flag and get off for a few meters, while Goose frolicked up them. Gonna feel the legs tomorrow!
Next we did a couple more fast flowy intermediate trails, which were a lot more fun for me. Last lap was with Bash again. Great to be out, and nice to be somewhere different.
Mucho Burrito and Starbucks after!
