The classic argument for me every weekend. Do I go surfing (or paddling) or mountain biking? I only can do one per day, as I need to max out my time with the fam before the workweek starts where i'm gone for 10 hours a day. MTB provides consistency, better exercise, and a bigger thrill (or chance of impairing yourself). It also provides more solitude for you and your friends, as even busy trails are nothing like a crowded day in the water.
But, while I love MTB, it isn't surfing and I have been leaning towards getting wet lately. Today felt like it would be a packed day at the beach and the Doheny cam had easily 50 guys on it, so I opted for ride.
Couldn't find anyone to go with, so I went solo. I usually don't like Solo because all the climbing can be boring, but I have plenty to think about and can get a lot more riding in at my own (efficient) pace. Today's ride was marie calenders, an epic hour+ long adventure across all of laguna wilderness park.
Lot of undulations make for hard work and some short rocky decents make for plenty of fun. An adjustable seat post is a must, luckily I have a new reverb. Good day out, I always feel better after a hard ride. I'm hungry, exhausted, and feel like I accomplished something.
