Recovery Bike Ride? Kingwood Trails
After yesterday’s ride my muscles were sore today. So what do I do? I decided to ride my 32 pound mountain bike on the Kingwood trails. I am not sure that was a good idea but the trails were gorgeous as was the weather; a clear blue sky, a light breeze and 77 degrees. Whenever I went up a small incline (we don’t have any big ones) my legs complained and slowed down in protest but I kept at it. After watching the Tour of Flanders video I was inspired by Peter Sagan and didn’t want to sit at home to let my muscles recover.
As I was riding the heavy MTB I thought maybe it is time to get a gravel grinder or cyclocross bike. They are light and can handle the bumps on the Kingwood trails and my legs would not complain as much.
Waiting for a little later time to start I left home at 2:12 and finished at 3:59. The different weather shots when I finished riding.
Tomorrow the weather forecast for calls for 80+ degrees and clear skies. By then my legs should feel looser.
