We rode a 40 mile trip today on the Withlacoochee into the Croom tract Wildlife management area. The weather was cool in the beginning but then it became nice and warm as the day progressed. We had a strange thing happen today as a squirrel ran full speed right into Buddy’s front tire as we cruised along at about 13 MPH. He nailed it pretty hard but then turned tail and scurried back into the woods, no doubt scared but hopefully unhurt. We made it a point to eat right, stay hydrated and we made sure we stopped briefly to replenish our glycogen levels with some sports gels.
After the 3 hour ride we left feeling good and it was obvious we hit a great balance between our workout and our energy levels. Buddy and I are thinking that we need a break from this trail so next week we are planning on going back to the Hawthorne trail in Gainesville.
Starting next week I plan on taking you with me out on the Santos Mountain bike trails with the Santos Bike Shop. It should be a good time and will get me off the pavement and back in the woods where I really belong on this bike.
