Monaco..or Iowa!!!

Well,

Today proved to be interesting. After finally catching the weather correctly in my new home town I was able to knock of the high desert dirt from the Superfly and add some good ol' midwester soil to her frame.

I went to Sugar Bottom today for the first time, and let me tell you this place did not disappoint from the moment my tire hit the trail. This place has the tight turns quick ups, rocks, roots, roots on climbs with mud and three footers...its insane. It rivals any area that I have ridden so far hands down.

After weeks of riding on the road and no rides on the mountain bike, my legs were strong. I was surprised to see how much the road bike has improved my strength and endurance. Some of the harder trails did have there moments and I was bucked once or twice, but it was all in good fun.

Today was a 20 mile day on the MTB. Legs feel good as of now. Tomorrow are going to be intervals on the road bike. So we will see how that goes.

Back to the trails, the only thing that this little gem was missing were the long grueling climbs of the old stomping grounds. For those who have ridden at Bogus, this is just as good in a lot of aspects.

That is all for now, signing off. Bed. Early ride before that Iowa sun cooks the pavement, and me!
