Started off my day at Carvins Cove where I enjoyed wonderful weather. Mid 60's, low humidity. I felt great. I took my time and still managed to have a 7.5mph average for 13 miles. A vast improvement over the race Saturday. Today's route was: Four Gorges, Brushy Mtn Fireroad (explored looking for new trail), down BMF,; Songbird, EF, Little Bell, Schoolhouse, Happy Valley Fireroad, Arrowhead, HVF, Benett Springs Road. Loved it today.
Got home and decided to clean both mountain bikes, so they would look spiffy. Then I got a text from P wondering if anyone wanted to ride on Mill Mountain tonight at 6pm. Sure why not. I'm sure it's going to be rough, but oh well.
So I met Paula at the Discovery Center and we headed out down Zoo Poo, Ridgeline, Monument, Crystal Spring, cut through the neighborhoods to Fern Park, climbed it to the Parkway, then went down WoodThrush, bushwhacked to JPFish took it back up the the intersection where we went back to my car. All total this ride was 7.6 miles. Good time, I climbed better than I thought I would have given the earlier ride today. It was a blast just to be out and even more fun to see my long lost buddy!!!
We're hoping to fire up the Chicky Ride again soon - gotta figure out a day that's good for most. I'll just work school around it. I need my bike fix!!
Speaking of which, while I've been off from work I've ridden a total of 110.6 miles!! That includes road and mountainbike! That's probably a tad short of what I really road given some GPS gaffs!
Alright, gotta go!
