I rode Rabbit Mountain (eagle wind trail and little thompson overlook) today. I haven't ridden eagle wind since last year; I'd never ridden the other one at all.
I didn't know how much progress I've made till I rode this trail. Parts that I remember as being miles-long lung-busters turned out to be easy climbs. Not once did I have to stop just to catch my breath -- something I remember doing constantly last year.
Oh, and my balance has improved, too. If I choose the wrong line and come to a stop, I have a good chance of starting again just by continuing to pedal. Last year, I would have tipped over instantly.

That's one of the benifits of riding the same trail regularly. It acts as a sort of measuring tape, telling you how much you've improved. I've shaved a once 95minute loop down to just an hour in a few years.
Kinda fun to see what happens year to year, ain't it? -- - Rog

Good for you!!!!!!!! The next thing you'll be clearing stuff that you had to get off and walk before.

That seems to be a "two steps forward, one step back" kind of deal. There's a trend of progress, but lots of ups and downs on a day to day basis.
I didn't clear a lot of stuff yesterday, and I couldn't remember having so much trouble before -- but then I realized that last year, I didn't have the stamina to make it up to some of these sections, so I never had to ride them in the first place. Now I have to deal with them =)

Cool. Nice work! I still have that realization from time to time (after mountain biking for 15 years) and I love it! It will continue as long as you do.

U GO GURL!
nice stuff, bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world. :-]
