First mountainbike ride of the season.

Wow... One of the local trails is finally open and can be ridden. Such a harsh winter had us off to a late start. My first race is in 2 weeks and today was only my second ride of the year. Worry no more though. My type of gym workouts has gotten me in even better shape than I was at the end of last years season. 15 miles in under an hour. Legs felt great and all of my climbs were out of the saddle in big gear. Very happy!!

Do you use a heart rate monitor that links to your email? Some of the banders use Garmin or Polar and we post them here to show our workouts? I usually don't cuz I'm a wuss but not as much as before WLS

Sometimes I do. I have a nike watch with polar strap. I usually only use it for the gym. I don't care what my HR is when I ride, I pretty much am sprinting the entire time. I am points racing this year expert/elite so I am going to be seriously challenged.
