Muggy Day

At the top, sitting for some banana.

We got to the trailhead this morning and the parking lot was jammed full. Turns out there was a TransRockies trail running race going on today. The racers were all getting ready. We started before them though so they didn't mind us using their start line. Though, when we came back through and cheered for ourselves crossing the finish line the humourless announcer said something about it being a running race. Duh. Crack a smile dude! Besides, he must not have realized Sante ran with us this morning. :)
Anyway, due to the race we changed our planned route and went up Tom Snow and down Ridgeback this morning. It was muggy and sweaty but the air temperature was actually only in the mid-high teens. Nice! We saw only two fellas at the top of the trail, and two more starting out as we finished. This morning riding is awesome!

I wasn't feeling that well this morning when I got up and contemplated skipping out on a ride today but I'm glad I went. The legs and lungs hung in there and, as always, the downhills were great reward for the climbing! A day or two off the bike is in order now though.

Need some clean-up.
