Red Rock

[trittj74]

We road Red Rock this morning, and man was it hot. These little afternoon storms cause a mess on the trail. We had to constantly move dead branches and trees. One of the trees we couldn't move without a small chainsaw. It is at the 7.5 mile mark riding counter clockwise. We did get to catch plenty of those big Orb Spiders.:eek:

Seems like its either too hot or raining everyday. Tried to ride this evening; got washed out only got in short lap at games.

Yeah I hope it is just the heat because I planned on riding two laps, but after the first lap I was spent. It is either the heat or there is something wrong with me. I drank my whole three liter hydration pack, but I probably sweated out two packs worth.

I always thot that the Golden Silk spiders worked harder on the Red Rock trail. Every time I'm there I run into many webs. As to the sweating, I have switched to drinking sports drink instead of water. I sweat so much, I have been running out of salt. This makes me feel ill and I have a much higher than normal heartrate. Yesterday I rode one lap at UWF and drank 3 liters of Gatorade! I'm ready for fall and cooler temps.

It may be the same tree. Going around it would be really easy.
