Finished up just after the rain started coming down. Came across 2 other riders who were still on the mountain when I departed.
I'm still struggling with the climbs...it really is a physical stamina issue for me. Have to take Heidi's advice and train by doing repeated climbs over at Jacobsburg.
The leaves on the rocks didn't help but my new Chunder tires made a world of difference (Thanks Lisa & John @ Cutters). I have them mounted backwards and they are a little slow but traction is awesome. :cornut:
