Bonkity-Bonk

And I just went out for a little short 5 or 6 mile ride to test out all this new power train. A whole Shimano new set-up. A few short hill climbs and racing around like that. pedal hard uphill, slide around the corner ... coast hard downhill. Uphill hard ... push, pedal, pedal. ... Coast. Jump in the car. Drive home ... Seriously bonk. Try to park.

Bike Ride at Russian Ridge Open Space

5.33 miles
A loop that included the Bay Area Ridge Trail, the Hawk Trail, and the Ancient Oak Forest Trail.
Some singletrack and some old vehicular roads.
2 Burritos.









My wounds from last week are healing and my intelligence is developing a bit too. I managed to make an hour and a half ride without damaging any part of my body. I can feel the pleasant effects of a solid cardio workout, and I am thinking, oh yeah, endorfins mixed with the glisten of sweat and dirt, and fatigue, and that lactic acid burn; That feels great.
