Mt. Evans

I've noticed that my friends haven't been making many new posts lately, myself included. My hypothesis is that we are too busy doing stuff to waste time telling others about it on the internet, which is pretty cool. I'm pretty tired, so I don't feel like putting much effort into this one.

I decided to ride my 30lb mountain bike up Mt. Evans today. The 28 mile climb took me exactly 5 hours, including bathroom breaks and stretching. I stumbled around at the summit for 20 minutes or so and probably had some strange conversations with a few people. The first 2/3rds of the descent was pretty decent (hah!!). Lots of switchbacks and overtaking of cars and motorcycles. Look, brake, look, turn, accelerate, enjoy the scenery. Stats from my new HRM: 5:00 duration, 3329 Cal, 136 bpm average, 3:40 in zone (>132 bpm), 165 max bpm.

Of course, this was all done the day after doing a 3 hour ride off road which included 40 minutes of lactate threshold training. That's how pumped I am for the Fat Tire.
