Saturdays are back in

After a conversation with my wife we got Saturday mornings figured out for me to ride, I headed out and was excited to get some morning riding in. I didn't beat the sun by much on trail by 5:40am but enough to beat some of the heat. I thought about the #ilovehawes races but I think I will wait for next week. I went for a simple up and over, still not feeling strong but enjoying the ride. When I got around the Mountain I was running into alot of people. I waited for afew trains of people, maybe 3 groups of 10 or so, not too fun when the trail is so narrow but it's fine. The lot was insane, I saw the Arizona Single Speeders loading up to go and was bummed I was not able to ride with them.

Nice

It was nice to start off on the quieter Hawes side, the weather was actually quite good for late April. I was dealing with some mental demons but felt a little better, definitely not feeling my strongest, maybe allergies side effects, but I am riding on. More gnats, they've been worse so lets hope it won't!

Beat

I knew before this ride that I wasn't feeing right, I was anxious to get out and ride but when I started I just wasn't feeling right, I pressed on anyway and went to see what the river was doing. I was surprised t not find any grasses down there, I guess with out pathetic rainfall they decided to skip this year. The trees were loaded and pretty. I found a nice area along the river I have not been to. I don't know why I didn't jump in but this week I will be!

Its almost Thursday

Just keep moving

Here we go again

Third week into this neighborhood stuff and not looking forward to these rides but pushing thru it. Good music or podcast gets me thru.

Mouth breather

I went around the Hawes on this one, lot was a mess, passed a bunch of riders on my way up Alpe and then it got quiet. Ran into the gnats 1/2 way around Hawes, such a nuissance but luckily they don't bite! Definitely ate a few.....
