So today I was reminded how hard mountain biking can be.
I took the opportunity to ride at Llandegla bike park near Wrexham in Wales as I had a meeting not far from there that finished reasonably early. In previous years, I'd ride around the lap in 50 odd minutes, never out of the 44 chainring. Not this time! a combination of horrendous fitness and a 30mph headwind up the opening 3 mile climb saw me finish the lap in 1hr 11mins.
Still, it's a start point I guess!
I have yet another busy week of work ahead. However, I may, if I'm lucky, get another short ride or two in. Finger's crossed.
