2 days of mtn bike riding on desert road system going between hwy 59 (upper JEM th) & rt 9 (Virgin). Yesterday I rode to just short of Virgin river and back. heart rate was way high that I attributed to dry skin not making wet contact w/ hr pick up. Today i rode same route but rode thru development, out onto hwy 9 down to Sheep bridge, and then back up to upper JEM. Rode a bit of single track in there. I must remain on my bike. The ST I am riding is comfortable to me and predictable. I am under control as the trail lacks expert technical hardness. Heart rate is still way high, combination of healing, bp lowering med, & being out of shape. My chest wasn’t exploding or pounding even w/ high hr. Enjoyed a cold ride. Temp @12:30 completion was 35 deg. AT 7:45 AM it was 14 degs.
Yesterday’s ride was down same road a bit more gently. Dropped work effort to low on steep climbs.
Just been hanging @ OTE and getting some per fixes satiated by dog, Eddy, & 2 cats.
No more mice.
Tomorrow I will ride the 20 mile Hurricane loop.
Have new Suunto Core to replace the former Vector that i cracked the crystal on when I fell. More programming to learn. Spent early evening learning the workings.
