Cougar Mt Madness
Tonight’s commute home had a little added flavor! Char agreed to meet up at the Factoria Sbux for a little evening hill climbing. Char is new to the team so he was wearing his old teams kit, I think this was primary contributor to his cramping. After Montreux Char had to call it a night, I was on my own to finish off Zoo Hill and Lakemont. On the upper section of Cougar near the towers I had mountaineering memories flooding back. Every breath lit up by my headlamp, grinding uphill in silence, vision restricted to what my light illuminates.
Hopefully as the weather gets worse more (any) teammates come over and join the Thursday night PARTY!

Hell yeah man! Gettin after it! We had a good ride at lunch, but I need to check this one out. Perhaps next week we will make the field trip over to raid your fridge.
I was bummed to miss the lunch Magnolia ride. Fridge is open to all who show!
have a great time in the Enchantments this weekend. one of my all time favorite places when the Larch are “popping”.
Dude I would be down for this punishment if I didn’t work Thursday nights. I say you do a reprieve on a Sunday day once cross season is over
You think we’re going to get burned out this Winter by doing stuff like this? I’ve never really become so worked that I just stopped riding. Maybe this will be the key to keeping it honest throughout the training offseason.
Char needs to drink more water!
