3 mile warm up and then 3x400 with a goal of 65's. I hit 66/62/61. I wasn't trying to crush the 2nd and 3rd but the first one took enough out of me I thought I was going to have to push really hard to hit 65 and they ended up being faster.
Alpine Loop. Brought food this time. Hamstrings and calves were sore after yesterdays 400s, probably one of my slower times up to the summit. Took a few pics, enjoyed the ride. Late start time so it was hot by the time I finished.
On the way down to St George I stopped in Beaver to do the ride that Bri suggested. It was super beautiful. I couldnt believe how pretty it was so close to Beaver. Got about 13 miles up. Then met a cool funny guy from Vegas. He swam for NAU in the 90's and talked about meeting all these Olympic athletes who trained in Flagstaff at the time.
Turkey Farm Loop: Not a far ride but still a good one. 10 miles out climbing into the middle of the desert so I named it Desert Warfare: Turkey Farm loop. This was the route that Dan suggested. First gravel ride with the bike and it was a lot of fun.
