My first mountain bike race out of retirement was quite the challenge. In the days leading up to the trip, I suffered through a major bout with food poisoning and lost 7 pounds. The trip was fun but I struggled with heavy cramping in my legs during the race. Here's my trip and race report...
A few weekends back, I booked a campsite via Reserve America (part of the Active Network) in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park to be used as a basecamp for both Friday and Saturday nights. After growler fills at the Alpine Brewery on Friday evening, I started my weekend of camping, mountain biking and good times with my friends.
Since moving to San Diego in 2005, I've heard only good things about the little mountain town of Idyllwild, CA. Finally my travels lead me to the mountain retreat this month.
March was such a crazy month! There’s lots to recap so I’ll keep it short and sweet. Hopefully things chill out a bit in April.
