Rode the MTB on Sunday with a mix of friends: the very fast, the slow, and me in the middle I discovered that riding my usual trails slower than normal made them more difficult. I had to use handling skills and "body english" to navigate obstacles that I would normally steamroll. It was an unexpected benefit to being patient, something that I freely admit that I'm not very good at.

Planning to play hooky tomorrow for some more MTB time. I have some comp time that's set to expire soon
