True. It was more that psychologically, I let myself get defeated before I even started and it just escalated with every time I messed something up. It was a lesson in just letting myself stop and clear my head when I'm having a bad day as opposed to beating myself up even more.

Didn't really help though that I went OTB twice, one time straight into a big pile of sticks!

Because if I mumble to myself and fall down while I'm walking people look at me funny. When I mountain bike it's OK!

because I'm constantly learning...
something new about my abilities..
something new about my surroundings..
something new about the people I'm with..

And it's usually something good!

I did not; I woke up too late; I'm a slacker for it. I did bring my road bike to work with me for an after work ride...

It's quite a feeling when you reach the top of your climb. Knowing full well that not only did you just get a great workout, not only do you get to enjoy a breathtaking view whilst catching your breath, but you've got one hell of a roller coaster ride ahead of you for your trip down.

It took me about an hour and twenty minutes. I never did the route before. Fun though.
