Re: [RC] Rode to the top of Black Mt today [enjoy the pics] - Eric Drew

next ride???? oh boy isn't that the $24,000 question.  I got promoted to management and then selected to help get a new store opened and running by August...We are on a 6 day a week schedule for the next 4 months....I'll be lucky to get in a fall ride this year....

An older mentor of mine told me this: "Once you have them fit, it's easy to bring them back.". Of course I didn't believe him (you know who), until it happened to my horse. . . It pretty much blew me away!!

When's your next AERC ride?

Hugs to you and Ruth!

it was 80 out but Porter handled the temps like a champ lots of climbs, some short and steep others long and sustained....good training ride...I may have him conditioned back up sooner than I thought even after an unplanned 10 week layoff due  to washed out roads

for the trip down from the peak we took the Indian Creek Fire road. I dismounted at this point and ran the 1.2 miles to the bottom next to Porter as we could go 3-4 mph faster that way [yes my thighs are burning]

My truck is parked over in the Xmas tree farm on the ridge on the left. We ran down to the canyon bottom then fast trotted back up to the top
