Training Camp

Another day of grandeur and exceptional excitement… Today we trespassed deep into the Anazi Desert where the weather was brilliant, before pull’n a Ritchie and goin’ straight up this hilly mountainous region. It was an immense climb, perhaps the largest we’ve done of late. I don’t know how long it was, but it took me ~45 minutes; and I’m sure we gained a lot of elevation ‘cause by the time we got to the top it was frigid… not to mention the view, the terrain was similar to what you’d see on the NASA website after typing in Mars.
I think this is about the hardest ride we’ve done yet, we did a lot of intensity on the climbs and the wind obstructed our path around each turn. I’ve never figured it out, but sometimes the wind’ll blow straight at you no matter which way you go. In Seattle it doesn’t make sense, but here the explanation is evident with the UFO’s fly’n ‘round all over the place.
