On Sunday while it was pouring down rain and about 45 degrees, a co-worker and I set off for a grueling mountain bike ride. We parked at the bottom of the entrance to Capital Forest. We rode from the bottom to Capital peak which was a 8 1/2 mile climb up hill to the peak, man what a work out. Once we reached the top we took a very challenging muddy unforgiven trail through the forest to get back down. The overall distance was 21.3 miles with approximately 9 1/2 miles being up hill. I burned 4000 calories during the ride which took us 3 hours and 35 minutes to finish. This ride tested me on proper fueling and water intake which I felt I did pretty well. I had planned on transitioning to the 4 mile run afterwards however my legs, ass and hands were numb plus it was still pouring down rain so I decided I had enough for one workout.
