Hello All - I'm salty and sweaty still. Just got back to ntckfit central and poured a cup of coffee. Good stuff.
I went to "Vietnam" in Milford. Vietnam there is a mountain biking preserve. NEMBA (New England Mountain Biking Association) along with a bunch of sponsors back some time purchased about 40 acres of land. Mountain bikers have been there for awhile and the trails were laid down - but after the purchase, the trails grew in number and complexity. The trail maintenance is excellent. The thing about it that I like is the terrain.
(These images came of the internets, so props to all the riders in the pics and the sites they came from - oh, and the photograpers too.)
Some mtn bikers like drops, some downhill, some cross country. I'm a cross country guy. I love technical trails with lots of baby head sized rocks that I can either blow over super fast or that I can pick myself a line and cruise through. I love to find rock gardens that are just that - only rocks that you have to carefully cruise through with little wiggle room for error - mess up, and you head into the rocks.
So, Day 10 workout is complete. And now its onto working out cutting a bed on the side lawn. The workout that is coming is going to be epic - I have no idea how much weight over all I'll be moving, but it's a lot.
I was on my way home from the mtn bike ride and I realized something: I feel more in shape. I haven't had that thought in a long time, and truth be told, it's great to feel.
