New route in the West Hills that I hadn’t ridden before. Old Germantown, all the way up Skyline to Helvatia, West Union, et al. I was going to try to bridge up to the lead group at the nine mile marker, but invariably took a wrong turn for a five mile detour. Nice. I backtracked the wrong turn place and tried to make up some time.

It felt good to work the legs again. I’m considering doing the Torture 10,000 on Saturday. Do I really need another 10,000 ft weekend? Geez.

I figure why not? I haven’t ridden Larch Mountain in a year; seems like the perfect time to go again.
