GR RT-Duthie-Soaring Eagle-HP-PP Spectacular end to my 2017 Go-fast Season. As in spectacular weather, not results, but I did ride very well on a pretty big ride. I have taken more rest days this year, which has paid dividends in terms of having energy to ride hard. It's difficult to believe that today's mid 60's and deep blue skies are going to be followed by an atmospheric river of rain. The ensuing mud will slow the trails down, as well as make the roots and rocks a little slippery. The light this time of the year is a little flat, making it more difficult to discern the trail contours. Of course, none of that is a factor with road riding, but I think I have reached my mental limit for riding really hard anyway.
