Legs, back and core

Lower right back strain

First MTB ride in 18 months. Lifted weights prior to going (legs and back) and strained my lower right side, so I did not push very hard but felt much better on the MTB that I was fitted and have a new bike seat that mirrors my road. Got a little warm during the ride but there were so many people on the trail had to really be careful, plus a lot of MTB's as well, some were not staying on their side of the fire road on their decent, which is really dumb. Dropped down to the other closed gate going into or near I think Corona and then climb back out, which was getting a little warmer but I did get wind, which didn't help with the climb but keeping me cool. Need to learn how to pick a line and stay with it on steep climbs as I missed a couple and fell over 2x. All good, learning and will keep trying
