11 miles of singletrack tonight. Had a nasty crash on a transition from a skinny bridge to a skinny bridge. Was tired and got sloppy.

Also look for a cycling club in your area. Most will have easy paced rides for beginners or families. My club has them for road and MTB.

Don’t have to push myself because I love riding my bike! It’s not exercising to me. It’s therapy.

Hooked up with the new local chapter of our state mountain bike association tonight for a group ride. Not knowing what kind of ride it would be, I went out a rode 4.5 miles before they got there.

Depends on what you are looking for. More protein per serving? PHD looks to be low per serving compared to others. There are so many different proteins on the market and I have tried a lot. Personally I like Muscletech Nitro Tech. Milk chocolate flavored 160 cals and 30g of protein with 3g of creatinine monohydrate per…
