Still a workout though. Once again Annadel is where I record an new highest heart rate on a bicycle. 193 this time. Again climbing Two Quarry.

And yeah, it looks like the new elastic strap for the heart rate monitor needs a bit more tension to deal with the shaking forces in the rock gardens here.
Moving time: 3hr46mi

Distance 25.4 miles
4200 feet of climb. That's gonna leave a mark.
Last time we were here: Annadel two months ago.

I got separated from the rest of the group and did a bonus out and back on the lower part of Marsh Trail. Nothing like an extra 3 miles with 500 feet descending and then climbing.
Possibly related to the above detour, we finished the ride in the dark and had to walk a couple of rock gardens on the appropriately named Cobblestone Trail. But that's just what we in the business call leaving more for next time.

On Wednesday I rode up Elevator at WD. That's the steep trail with the deep rain rut that we rode down twice. It's not as technical or long as TQ, but because you cannot rest and have to mash the entire climb, it might produce a higher peak heart rate.
