Mountain Biking in February?!

We decided to do our long ride outdoors on Saturday because it was so nice (+5) -- but because of the amount of gravel on the roads we didn't want to risk flats, so we took our mountain bikes.

It was a beautiful day and we had a blast as we rode from our home to Bragg Creek and back. A total of 75kms in 4 hours. We are pretty impressed that our legs were in that kinda condition in February. It's much easier on our road bikes, but I guess that's why it's called 'training!'
These graphs show our route and our heart rate vs. elevation.

Calgary probably has another good lump of snow to come in the next few weeks. But here's hoping the weather stays dry and warm, so the road rides can become more frequent!
