88 Days

Keeping with the number theme, today was my first MTB ride in 88 days.  Again, I took it fairly easy on a typical route that I do when I only want to go out for about an hour.  I did the, almost 12 mile loop, in 1:04:41.  That landed me somewhere in the middle of my fastest time of 56:34 (11/06/2013) and my slowest time of 1:11:00 (11/25/2013).  I felt fairly solid throughout, but had to stand on a few uphills that I can normally stay in the saddle on.  I did get my 2nd fastest time on a downhill Strava segment though!  Now that it is getting light out around 5:15AM, my riding (both road and MTB) should significantly increase.  I really want to keep my running gains, so hopefully I'll be able to stick with that a couple of times a week too.  Typically, when I start riding more, my running slowly reduces until it is non-existent.
