More dirt today on the Univega, 50 miles and 5000ft elevation. I'm worried it still isn't enough for the big ride next week but it's too late and I'm going to suffer anyway. Btw, cross bikes on mountain bike trails is terribly fun. It was a good day to die (came close a few times)

ps. WHY DO PEOPLE MOVE LEFT WHEN YOU CALL "ON YOUR LEFT"?? I rode into the wall to avoid someone that did that (yes, she had fore warning) and I punctured my front tire. Later I was forced into huge sand pit because half the group moved right and the other half moved left. w.t.f.
