Monday - Quarry trail with Corey, 11.22 miles, 1510 elevation gain. 1 hour 35 min, I wasn't feeling it and ended up going pretty slow on the climb, walked a few times, got up avalanche hill and the 3rd bridge pipe and the two end obstacles, not Lisa Hill or the 2nd bridge rocks. BUT I got all of Techy! Yay

Friday - Something is weird with Corey's shocks, so his bike is in the shop, so I did a solo ride this morning. Did short and sweet, Clarks and Rush, 4.31 miles, 38 minutes and 5 seconds, go me! 12 achievements 

• 3rd Coyote to Bench .39 mi 5:57

On the Mario Kart part (RUSH!!!) I got 1:38 today, PR is 1:37 but I must have 1:37/38 a lot over my 32 efforts, cause 1 second slower didn't get me anything. I shall try to go faster there next time!
