Two rides in two days- not bad. I rode the new secret trail for the second time today because when I finished yesterday, I looked at the map and was totally disoriented.
This is the problem with trail systems and their markings sometimes. Well, I shouldn't blame the markings, I should specifically blame rogue trails. It seemed like I simply should choose a direction (I picked clockwise) and follow around. But somehow I took a trail that cut across from say 7 to 4, and then I was unknowingly going counter-clockwise. Still made for a fun ride, but not the best when you're trying to simply follow the loop and measure the distance (although that worked out, too- a mystery how).
So........... I think I did better at following tonight, and this being only my 4th ride of the year or so (the snow-push ride hardly counts), I am re-learning how to watch the line ahead of me and do things like carry momentum. The trail felt a lot more "flowy" today than yesterday- that's a good sign.
