No ride today. Rained in the afternoon, so we decided to see Machete. It was definitely over the top. So over the top that it was laugh out loud hilarious.

I got back from a drive to Miami with no A/C at about 4:30. The heat definitely took it out of me and I was asleep within minutes of getting back. I got to Pinehurst after 6:30. First lap was all reds except Barkalounger and another very rooty part on the other side of the trail. I like the roots here. I like getting through them, but I knew I was running late and wanted to get as much riding as I could in. I finished the lap at a respectable 33 minutes. This lap was 4.16 miles. I was able to clear the double logs easy today. Just needed some momentum! I was floored that I made it over them. I saw the part where I flipped yesterday and I really should have seen the small log if it was still light out.

Second lap started right at 7. This was no good after I got past the double logs again. Not wanting a repeat of last night, I bailed at the SW corner at 8.11 miles. So that's right at 6.5 trail miles.
I've got more miles in me, but I'm getting to the trail too late. I also got two full rotations out of my cranks when I was in some roots today because I was way over my bars again and my back tire gained altitude and lost all connection to the ground. I stopped for a second and had a good laugh as to what I probably looked like when this happened. I think I could have made it out if I had left on my second lap no later than 6:45. Sunset was at 7:32 pm today. I left the trail at 7:20 and I still had 10-15 minutes in front of me. Therefore, I need 45 min before sunset to feel comfortable I think. I got a total of 11 miles today on the bike, and 174 total. I think I will concentrate more on the trail miles than the street miles from now on. I still need a day or two to spin my legs up quickly, so I will still do road riding, just not as much as I have been so far.
