30 Day Challenge Day 6

6 days in and the streak is still alive. The mountain biking bug is biting again which has made things easy. Breaking out the Garmin watch reveals some fun heart rate data. In less than minutes my heart rate was over 150 climbing from there to a 178 bpm peak around the 17 minute mark. It would be nice to see it fall faster and to get lower, but that gives me something to shoot for over time.

This really is a convenient loop because it's pretty easy. 17 hard minutes and you're up, 5 fun minutes you're down, less than 30 minutes round trip from the house. It's only a 500 ft elevation gain, but it's still a fun way to start the day.
