Anyone Mountain Bike?

I finally found a BB down in Tuscon. Going to get it tomorrow. It's in the middle of downtown, so I guess I'll wear my pride rubber boots in case I step in human waste while dodging the sculptures and murals of non-whites. Hopefully I don't get carjacked...

Make sure you know your proper pronouns to use and how you want to identify before you get there!! 🤷‍♂️ 🤣 🤣

good to mix it up with different locations. Even combo rides are good. Mix of single track, hard top and gravel

That’s awesome. I rode mine this week and had forgotten how much I like it! (Nomo)

This past Saturday was my first ride post COVID. Energy level actually felt fine, but I have a lingering cough and I probably had more issue with that than anything. The blood pressure medication I take also causes this at times.
I had no troubles breathing, and as I mentioned, I felt like I had plenty of energy, so it appears I escaped any serious side effects from the china pox. It was a hot day and the coughing and the need to use cough drops meant I did keep the ride relatively short, since I stupidly forgot the cough syrup at work.

The name of the game right now in the low deserts of AZ is trying to maintain some level of fitness while dodging the heat. I've been getting up at 5:30 to go out and get some miles before it gets too hot. 5:30. I am a sick bastard.

Actually got out early enough to catch some shadows from the low morning sun...

Loaded up at 9:15. Local weather said 98*. My Tahoe said 107, but that's usually a little higher than actual. Didn't feel that hot.

Still at it...

That's something I need to work on. Where I ride is rocky in places, but there aren't much in the way of tech features.

I've been thinking about getting into mountain biking. Its a short trip to NW Arkansas where it is huge. I currently do alot of gravel biking as we live in gravel central.

I plan on hitting Arkansas this spring for MTB. Great crossover from Gravel bike which I do half the time. I have gotten into bike packing which I had some planned trips but was not able to do this winter due to some unplanned happenings. I say stop thinking and just do it

Ive got enough expensive hobbies though. One of my buddies heads down to Bentonville and rents a high end MTB and rides all over. Then drops if off and heads home. Got in 1207.7 miles last year on the gravel bike. I was shooting for 2k but hurt my back and couldnt do longer rides for awhile.
