I am tired. I feel like the effort was there and it went better than it looks by 7:17. I didn’t stop my timer for a break at Big T or A long break at Sierra Del Norte lot where Bri met me with some more water. I couldn’t figure out how to route back to Dale Ball other than La Piedra. So I just hiked it. I think I lost an hour - will check the charts later. This was a terrible idea. Longer rides expose all the cracks. My saddle is not working for me and I was fighting that all day. Don’t notice it on shorter rides. Tried to pace myself appropriately to stay safe and handle the bike well. Overall it really worked. I felt good moving the bike around late, but I just didn’t have juice for climbing once I hit Chamisa. This was almost double my highest mtb ride mileage and easily the most climbing. I can build on this. Ready for rest days.
