I live for adventuring on my bike. I don’t need to travel far to find new trails and new places to roam. I jokingly tell people I wake up thinking about riding my bike. I go to sleep thinking about riding my bike.
Recently we went on a mountain bike ride that was one of the hardest rides I have been on in a long time.
The day started out like any other day - except.. I had not slept well & the summer heat tends to make my appetite pretty nonexistent so I didn’t fuel great beforehand - even though I know how important starting out hydrated and full of calories is - especially when the plan is to climb a mountain I have never climbed before. So, not really like any other day.
