As I set out to do today I rode from fenlands to the intersection of goat creek and high Rockies trail. It was bone dry and hot. Saw more bikers on goat creek than I expected to.
Final tally was 3hrs of moving time. 43.4km and 651m of up. Goat creek was fun coming back to Banff.
I stopped to rest, eat and hydrate and I put my gloves on my seat, and they blew off into a bit of a crevase and they were just beyond my reach. It seemed really odd riding with bare hands for 22km. Can’t recall the last time I did any real distance without gloves on. I also really liked those gloves.
I was thinking on the way back that I should have given my bike the once over the night before to ensure there were no loose bolts or anything. Fortunately I had no issues, but this would have been a crappy ride to have a mech issue
