I had the opportunity to get away for three days earlier this week with my long time buddy Steve, we stayed at a timeshare up in Whistler BC Canada and got in some mountain bike riding while we where there. This time of year it's kind of between the mountain biking season and the ski season but there is still some biking going on up in Whistler.
If you watched my other biking video, you will know that I feel biking is an awesome way to get and stay in shape, to be honest, biking can be a real eye opener when you're not in shape! I feel I'm in pretty good shape right now with all the CrossFit I've been doing but when it comes to mountain biking I have a lot more work to put in before it will start getting easier. My legs felt pretty good and didn't even really feel that soar afterwards but my lungs had trouble keeping up with all the technical hill climbs, perhaps being up a bit higher made it harder to get the much needed air into my lungs... Well that's my excuse :)
All I can say is not only do I want to do more mountain biking, I need to do more!
