Fun Ride! Two hours by stenogrl at Garmin Connect - Details

Fun Ride! Two hours by stenogrl at Garmin Connect - Details

My schedule today only allowed me two hours, and my morning started off with work stress. So what to do? One thing is to remember I always feel better after a ride!
The old backup, just a good run up Westridge and down Sullivan canyon. We added a short fun single track by broken arrow. I love my new tires (captains) - I am so excited to go back now and ride the more technical downhill areas of the race!
I feel more confident not skidding out on race tires. I understand they weigh a bit more, (four ounces each) but hey, I want to be fast and safe and have FUN! So I am loving the seat dropper too. Today was the first fast ST downhill on Westridge single track I hit with full on fun and confidence, no hesitation! Climbing was consistent and strong. A few hills I climbed I could not help but say to Doug, hey, I remember when this was hard! Bring it on! My coach is the best. It's so cool to really see progress and all I have to do is what she says!... Sprint! Climb! Rest! Eat! Ride through the pain! HAVE FUN (Lou's must do) - I think my riding partner was proud of me too, even took his helmet off and bowed as I crested the top! ;-) sooo much fun (hard work too) - tough to put into words how hard work turns into fun - you have to get on a mountain bike to see what I mean!
I am climbing my mountain of hope!
Thank you, God, for another day! Many thanks to my coach, family, friends and fellow riders for all your support!
