On Sunday I went mountain biking near Hood River, OR with three friends. This was our first mtb ride of the year and we were all out of shape. We had plans to ride two trails, both accessible at the same trailhead but after finishing the first trail (7 miles) we were ready to head back to Hood River for some beers. Considering we have had all summer to get into shape (which non of us obviously took advantage of) it will be interesting to see if we're any better off on our overnight trip in August.
To be in better shape by August 18th/19th, my goal is to get out and ride again on my lunch hour. While I will likely start off on mostly the flats, Terwilliger Blvd and the West Hills are just minutes away by bike. If all goes as planned, I will have my climbing legs back under me by our next ride in mid-August.
