Yesterday was an eventful day. My wife was gracious enough to manage our kid for a few hours (not that she doesn’t on other days 🙂 . She does most of the work anyway and still allowed me to go and have fun while she was with the baby ) and I went Mountain biking with a few friends. Later on, we, as a family, went on a stroll in the park where we met up another family. Finally, we were hoping to round out the night by watching a movie in our home theater but the chores took longer than expected so we just ended up watching a movie in the living room.
As for Mountain biking, this is the second time during the pandemic that I went Mountain Biking. First was when we had a 5 hour session few months ago with some basic training and then biking on easy trails. We liked the experience so we decided to go again this past saturday. The weather was nice and a couple of more friends joined us. We headed back to Duthie Hill Mountain BIke Park and decided to go through the same trails as last time just because we were familiar with them and wanted to make sure that the friends who were doing this for the first time were comfortable as well. We ended up spending close to three hours biking covering over 6.5miles. Here is a screenshot of a part of our journey through the trails:
I did also capture our biking adventure with my camera. Here is a short video from the over half hour of footage that I captured:
While it was a fun and eventful Saturday with several hours of intense activity, recovery from it is another matter. Especially since the mountain biking happened after several months of physicial inactivity. That’s why today is what we call sore Sunday 🙂
Here are a few more videos from the day:
