Ran the All American trail today as part of my training for the trail run in February. I felt good after 14 miles, so I feel confident about 18 in February as long as my fitness level remains. I'll probably not get back out to the trail again before then.
MR rode along and got a good workout riding through the sand and along the rolling hills. Got stuck in some deep sand a few times. It'll stop a bike in no time at all!
There were lots of people out on the trail today. Runners, walkers, and a cute young couple that were in the bushes off the side of the trail enjoying eachother's company. The trail's been closed for months due to hunting season. It just re-opened yesterday. I haven't been on it in a couple of years- it was nice to be back out there.
Here's a riddle for the day: What's worse than leaving your bike on top of the car when you pull into the garage? Doing it twice. MR's bike fared pretty well- it'll need a new front rim. The car, bike rack, and brickwork above the garage didn't fare as well. Lucky for us, we already know how to get them all fixed and replaced since we did it before 3 years ago. :-(
