Another great ride
Posted on January 7, 2009
I am finally starting to get used to the time difference. 6 hours is a little bit to make up. What really screwed me over was the eating. In America I have food around 5pm, 11pm here. So the last couple f days I cut down the eating after 10, 9, 8, 7 and that helped get better sleep, WHICH allowed me to wake up earlier and ride longer in the AM… I know long explanation for a simple thing.
Anyways, I rode the MTB again. It was a humid day, it still is. I have grip shifts on the bike and several times during the ride I could not shift, even with gloves… the sweat would not evaporate. I was drenched and riding without a helmet ( I know dumb), just kept the water dripping like crazy.
I found myself pushing quite hard today. The legs felt good so i pushed them. Had a little problem with breathing. Not sure if it is the heavy work at altitude, but I felt like I had an asthma attack. Took 5 minutes to go away, but it was strange. BTW, tomorrow I will go again ad try to take a pic. It was a beautiful ride.
I cruised around and found some roads that led me into others i had never ridden and all of the sudden I start to descent. I knew I had to come up, so I was happy I would be climbing, but I wasnt sure how long this road would be. I turned around after I descended almost 700ft. It was pretty steep and muddy.
Really curious to see how the mountain bike riding will translate to the road. I hope well cause tat is the whole point of pounding out the miles on the heavy thing.
numbers for todays ride were: 3050ft of climbing, 2:34 hours riding and i think 26 miles… not sure. cant remember.
