My training has been consistent thus far. However, I've reached a point where I'm mildly addicted to the workouts, which could be dangerous. I was 'supposed' to take Friday off but instead tried a pilates workout. Sunday was apartment hunting. My Saturday bike clinic was rEdiciLous!! Naturally, I'm debating a real day off, aka the maple doughnut..
Orchard Hills Summit (my image stitching is horrible)
I swapped my Saturday long bike ride for a MTB skills clinic. It began with instruction and drills in wheelies, body position, and braking. Then we head off for the trail. which is four miles of narrow single track that passes through an avocado orchard. The first half was action packed with tight switch backs and steep climbs to the hill top. The trail was gorgeous and the view was worth all the punishment. The final decent was lightning fast. The steepness was 100% grade in some parts. I was leaned waaayyy back behind the seat. The finish was a half mile of smooth, hard packed fire trail returning the group to the trail head.
Here is more info about the trail.
