Nov 17 - 22

Monday - Ride to Ruins, Abi dropped me off at the trailhead so that helped it not feel as long, but also makes it a little harder cause you're not warmed up by the road when you start the gravel trail. 53 degrees at home when I left there, 47 at mouth of canyon. 9.29 miles, 1 hour 15 min. Got two more local legends - 1) for the descent of "So LCC to Wasatch" - 16 efforts in the last 90 days and 2) Tour of Granite Sprint #3 (basically the same stretch of the road) and I've had 16 efforts there as well, obviously. Also got a "bronze"/3rd best time for Demo Climb (last stretch to the ruins). I got the Lisa Rocks today, which is prob why I got that time. It was fun, though, there’s two guys ahead of me (prob in their 30s), and they both almost got it, but then both got up and jogged their bikes the rest of the way up at the end. Then they both paused and at the top and we’re standing there watching me, pressure was on! I got the first part then shouted to them that I’m about 1 out of 10 for getting this, they cheered me on and said you got it and I did get it and they said “You crushed it!” and “Legendary!”  I kept going and we chatted for a little bit at the top, they said that they thought I was on an e bike at first when I was starting that hill then saw when I was closer that I wasn’t. Not too shabby for an old lady!

Fav song on todays ride was The Killers "Spirit" as I was seeing the mountains on the decent flash between the trees as I listened to the lyrics "Flash God's image 'cross the long night" the mountains are one of God's images.
