I had the pleasure to Mountain Bike the Fort Ord course and Friday. I am not a mountain biker so this was new to me. I found the course to be hard in some spots (umm because I am a little afraid being new) but the final down hill was so much fun - I also ran the 5k trail running course which has the same down hill as the the Moutnain Bike course and it was a great run. Loved it.
I also ran the Santa Teresa Mountain bike course on Sunday. Ok this was muddy...my legs had so much dirt on them, but it was fun and I did enjoy. Of course there is a part where I had to walk up and not run. A little too steep for me.
Just an F.Y.I. if the weather decides to bring down the rain on our Duathlon and MTB events scheduled for March 6th we might change the date to May 22nd or May 23rd, 2010. We will keep you posted. Ran the trail this past Sunday and it was pretty muddy and not very good conditions for Mountain Bikes, but ok for running...we will keep you posted.
