*when it’s just by myself. Once I got going I was feeling more in to it and I did some techy bits that were fun, including going down the Carlmont Jump/Pump/DH Track. I had planned on doing a shorter ride. While it WAS a shorter distance, it was almost the same amount of time as yesterday day. Oops. Luckily, I’m not as busy today at work. It was about the same temperature as yesterday but overcast instead of clear and sunny. Riding the flat pedals: Pros - Less "kitting up" to do. More comfortable on switchbacks. Cons - Less than ideal foot positioning, constantly trying to get it in the right spot. Taking the foot off entirely unintentionally. Less comfortable on fast, rough, descents but hopefully that passes. Less able to bunny hop.
