We had planned a longer ride but this was a tough one at such a high elevation. We were all pretty tired at the end. We were going to start early so we could finish earlier to head to Park City. We started early but had a delayed start. We started the climb when Nikki’s pedal broke. Luckily Mike has a spare set but that meant heading back down. The climbing was steep, the trail was silty and rocky, and worst of all, the elevation was really affecting me. When my HR got in to the high 140s/150s, I had to stop because I was breathing so hard. It was really hard to catch my breath. On the way back, I routed us on a trail that was rock garden the whole way. Oops. On the plus side, I went down most of it and felt pretty good about that. Then we hit the flow trail and got some air. Woo! Really pretty and scenic like yesterday but different.
