Partly inspired by this thread, the hubster and I took our first hike in the Arcata Community Forest today for the first time in over three months. It was a beautiful walk, but we're in our 50's and owww! I ride, so how can my calves hurt this much?? The forest is all hills, barring a short bit along the top of the ridge; murder on the legs, but it does wonderful things for the butt. Assuming we survive the night.
