The storm is gone, and a LOT of snow has melted away. Woohoo! I got out on my bike for the third time since Moab. Yes, that is a once a week ride average since then. 2010 training starts very soon! I felt super strong today. NOT going for a run the day before a ride makes a huge difference in how my legs feel! 🙂 I think the running fitness is also crossing over and helping a bit.
I took the mountain bike up to Gold Hill, and knew I’d get to play in the mud!
The roads were pretty good until I got to about 7500′. Then the muddy fun commenced.
There were snowy fun sections.
Moist sections.
Dropping down Lickskillet to Lefthand Canyon. I decided coming down 4 mile would be more of a wet, muddy adventure than I was up for. 🙂
Sweet views.
I ran into Jeff on top of Lee Hill(he left before me today). We were coming up the hill from different directions (I was heading home), and I turned around and went with him to finish off the duration of his ride.
Looks like we will have some nice Fall weather for at least 5 days. I’m bummed about the time change… it’s depressing. We are probably heading to Moab next weekend to ride some trails!
Here is the elevation/HR profile from my NEW Suunto T6!! I LOVE IT!
Up to Gold Hill, up Lee Hill, up Old Stage. SWEEET! I wanted to keep going, but made myself to home.
Red Suuntos are cool. I love the Suunto Lumi I got last year too!
More bike riding in the sunshine and muddy roads tomorrow. woo woo!!!! Hope everyone has a sweet Halloween! I’ll leave you with this:
What shoes were you wearing? (looked interesting in jeff’s flicker page).
Northwave Aerlite SBS. They are awesome, and fit well.

Yeck!
The mud has started to gather here in New England. Dirt roads are getting tricky.
You keep riding in mud like that and soon you too will be on singlespeed. 😉
haha! I want a SS to ride! 🙂
