Camp Lynda: Day 1

Of course wouldn't ya know it....it rained....all night....in the desert. The plus side, it was a light rain. So, Camp Lynda: Day 1 happened, but we were denied our total route due to sticky clay. Not a huge deal....we still got in around 40 miles of some good single track, slick rock, and dirt road. Here are your photos for the day...

The riders get together for a preride meeting. Something like 35ish total riders today.

The early miles were tame as the skies spit light rain and the temps warmed into the mid-50F's.

The first of many slickrock sections.

Some fast and buff desert singletrack....as the clouds hang low in the background.


The group regroups then starts to head back to St. George after being denied our turn around point due to sticky clay.


The smooth road home.

This is how it was today. Looks kinda bad....but really wasn't. Bikes are now clean for tomorrows session.

Here is the days effort recorded off the Suunto T6. The HR was higher than at altitude.....but the level of effort on the pedal was about 60%. I felt pretty good all day....any time I started to feel the effort creeping up, I just let off the gas. There are still 2 days of riding yet. Not going to burn all the matches in 1 day.
