you were talking about MY legs. right?

Here's what was interesting about this ride. It's rated "strenous" in the local guide with a 2-5 difficulty rating, mostly 4 (scael of 1-5)
I made a lot of inquiries and got feed back like this:

"I've hiked but never biked it" to "yeah, there's a hike-a-bike
section" to, "that's a HARD ride and then from a riding pal who did it last week: "brutal but you'll be fine" (said with a smile, we ride together quite a bit)

Sure the hike a bike was a pain and there was a climb but it wasn't freaky or scary or hard for me. Does this mean I have a hig tolerance for toughness or just that I"ve been around. You wouldn't want to bring a beginner, or someone that was a whiner, or someone who would freak with exposure. this would have been me a few years ago!! Attitude and comfort zone are half the battle I think!
