Well, today's ride was nothing like last week's - the humidity has returned with a vengence. Still a few more weeks till our riding season gets really nice. I got a new heart rate monitor this week, and it is amazing to look at the calories burned. We ended up doing about 5 miles further than the usual loop out at Boyette. Additionally, I ran out of water around the 10.5 mile mark. which sucks considering we still had about 4 more miles to go...
So the course I rode today: Main trail to Loch Ness to the fire road, fire road to Spider Berm to Randys Trail. At this point Jason headed out to go get Dona and Eric. Tony and I then went back down Randys trail to spider berm again, then to golf cart and back to Spider Berm to meet up with Jason, Dona, and Eric. Tony and I rode Spider Berm for the 3rd time. Then they all did Gator Pit while I found the outdoor urinal, then Golf Cart again, to Pandemonium, to Sidewinder. At this point Eric was feeling the heat and asked if I could take him around the back way to where west forest was. tony, dona, and jason did Swamp Thing and eric and I met them on the other side. At this point I ran out of water! My entire 3L camelbak emptied. Jason echoed the same. At this point we headed down the west forest, to west meadow, back down spider berm, randys trail and out the park. Whew....
