Wednesday Night Ride

After a long (very 10 months long) absence, I finally made it back out for the Wednesday night ride.

I think I did pretty well.

I managed to keep the group in sight most of the night,

but only when they were stopped.

There were a lot of "that's gonna leave a mark" moments. I was so tired on one crash, I couldn't get back up. I laid there clawing at the dirt and roots trying to figure out why I couldn't get up. I just couldn't breath. My strength was gone. I had to stay down a minute and recoup.

It's funny riding D-Town after such an absence. I had no idea there were so many hills. It's all climbing. There was stuff I never even considered a hill before that was kicking my ass last night.

The new trails are awesome. I was so twisted up, I had no idea where I was or where I was going - at least I could tell it was up.

Next time I'll have to remember to hydrate with water the day of. Coffee all day doesn't cut it.

Maybe next time I'll pick a more mellow group too.

Speaking of riding, here's some movies from the weekend.

I know it's mostly waiting, but I don't have any video editing software (i.e. too lazy to download and learn it)
