Saturday - Big Mountain ride with Corey at 4:37 pm. It kicked my butt but I was still sore from my lunges on Thursday. I think we could have made it to the top if it hadn't been for Oktoberfest, that made it take us 15+ min to park far away. We did the same distance as the time in 2023 when we did get to the top, but we stopped a few switchbacks short of the top so that we could make it back to the car in time. Sunset was 7:17, we started down at 6:50. 13.61 miles, 1 hour 46 min. 12 achievements.

Got the local legend with 16 efforts for Cottonwood Road/Dirt Climb to Pipe for all athletes! (already had it for Women) AND the LCC Enduro Descent, also for all athletes, with 11 efforts (Those two numbers should be the same, maybe minus one for the descent for when I had to bail out of my ride cause of rain, but when I got up, I come down too, so I think the "11 efforts" is wrong, should be 15.
