Familiar Dirt

Mules Ear

Home early enough to get a quick ride up and over Mules Ear. Not a bad little tune up ride under normal conditions.  Not nearly as technical as the stuff I was riding in January and February, but a pretty good burn.  1006 feet of climbing, enough to get the heart rate up for a while.  A little slower than I'd expect, but then again, I'm not anywhere near 100%.

The trail is in pretty good shape considering how much rain we've had lately.  Still, the run-off is pretty low - like way dry.  No bueno!  I think I need to knock about 10 minutes off this one before I can feel comfortable.  Maybe a couple more weeks.

Still haven't been on the road bike this year.  We'll see what the next few days bring.

BTW - Thanks to the totally awesome VB for the muy generous donation.  A dang good guy and the best engineer I know.


Ride HARD!
