Stuart Peak Sunset

The Thursday night crew went up to watch the sunset from Stuart Peak. It’s close enough that it can be done in a long evening, but far enough away to make it a special occasion.

Mike is well on his way to winning the TNR rookie of the year award.

(Bikes were stashed at the Wilderness boundary and we hiked on foot to the peak)

After a really spectacular ride Monday night I thought I’d go on the Thursday night ride. Unfortunately it wasn’t the best of rides tonight. I didn’t feel it in my head but went anyway. It’s not that I felt bad, I just didn’t have that “Whoo Hoo” feeling.

We had a dedicated B-Group with 9 riders and I had a hard time keeping up with the guys in that group. Geez. It’s also a much different ride than Monday night – a lot more hills to climb and I’m not a good climber.

Now I go through the last couple days, trying to figure out what I did, what I ate, how I slept, etc. to pinpoint the reason for my disappointing ride so I don’t repeat it. It could be lack of sleep, dehydration, nutrition, or the fact that I haven’t recovered from Monday’s and Tuesday’s ride. Still, I had a respectable 17mph average with all the climbing. I just really hate getting dropped.

But I’m not discouraged. It just makes me want to work harder so I can keep up more with the group.
