Mountain biking season is in full swing.

Monday morning Scott and I decided to take Nora to the Ark and go on a bike ride together. I wasn’t sure if my legs could handle it after the century on Saturday, but I managed.

We decided to go up Fink Again and head up to Flying Dog. It was absolutely perfect weather, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. As we got started my legs were really tired. Literally within the first 2 minutes I felt tired like I couldn’t go on. But then I got warmed up and things got easier. It’s funny how that happens. I have been on so many rides like that–at the very beginning I wonder if I am going to be able to make it. Then after a few more minutes I get in the groove and things get easier.

We rode up for about 2 hours. The back of Flying Dog is so beautiful. I love it this time of year. Everything is green and the wildflowers are blooming everywhere. The Aspen trees are leafing out and making it nice and shady. It smelled wonderful.

It was a good ride, and I really enjoyed being out there with Scott. We stopped and took a few photos and then headed down to pick up Nora.
