Oh, how quickly one remembers

Hot, muggy, no shade and a big, long hill....add a Mountain Bike and a deconditioned (for Mountain Biking) person, me to the mix and how quickly I remember the difficulty of riding and just how demanding it is on the cardiovascular system.

Great ride, a real lung burner, non-stop relentless climb for 25 minutes. Awesome and I just remember how easy this was (relatively speaking) when I was riding 3 times a week...in 2004. Remember all sports and the conditioning are specific!

Fun downhill though...lol

enjoy. I wish I had the knees to torture myself like that. Heat is just another weight on the bar.
