First non-terrible ride here. First ride were several years ago at the CW8, early in my MTB time and with people passing me constantly. Second time was 2 years ago with Chuck as I was coming down with the flu. So this pretty much had to be better.
Fingers crossed kind of ride bc trail conditions were questionable. Rode Dogwood, which was in good shape except for a couple muddy spots. DeClue, which was WAY too muddy in most spots and thus lots of walking there. And whatever the gravel is called.
Much harder day for me than last week's ride the day after PMETR, but there wasn't much stopping with this group, which is probably why. At one point, as Amanda and I caught up at a regroup stop, they started to ride away and I called out, "Some of us haven't had a break yet!" Good training but I definitely need fun-focused, more relaxed rides in the mix too.
