Second XTERRA preride, with the family - Martin, Mom, and Dad!
Bike: 17 miles, 3400', felt way better on climbs than the first preride here.
Run: Run off the bike once reaching Snowbasin... Up the ski hill and a bit of the singletrack at the top, I'm just happy I didn't have to walk any of the steep hill this time. My shins starting hurting again.
Bike: After enjoying the live band and BBQ up at Snowbasin, we rode Green Pond Loop and Icebox back to the car. I was so hyper and feeling so good on the downhills! We had managed the entire day, close to 6 hours of riding, all four of us, without a single flat or crash or other mechanical. Then, on the last 2 minutes of the ride, on the gravel dirt road down to the car, I was riding a little out of control... Well the gravel got bigger and the road got rockier, and I couldn't slow down enough... soon I had veered off the path and SLAMMED into a big boulder on the side of the road. I'm not hurt, but I ripped the tire and bent my front wheel's rim... $$$. Whoops, sorry Dad.
Other than that, great day.
