We've had a busy fall preparing for some local mountain bike races and camping at Mulberry Gap in GA over Thanksgiving. I was training for our local 37 mile point-to-point race with high hopes; however, I realized I put a few too many dirt miles in and wore myself out. In hindsight I should have spent more time on my road bike. Sean and I race two six hour races the weekends before the point-to-point and my body couldn't recover fast enough. Although I'm happy with my finish, I was hoping to complete the race under 4 hours and missed my cut off by about 20 minutes. A positive note was the purchase of my new 29inch full suspension Santa Cruz. I don't like new bike, upgrades, etc. but fell in love with this ride the first time!
We rarely travel over Thanksgiving since family is too far away so this year we packed up our new camper and set off for a mountain bike getaway. We had a great time in NW Georgia, enjoyed the trails, the camper, and the great food and service. We wish it wasn't so far, but will be sure to return one day. December will be busy with my annual girls trip to Kiawah Island, the end of the fall semester, and traveling to Indiana for the holidays.
