Hey there 😅
I loved this description; I could picture you. Haha… Wow, 60 km — I’ve never gone beyond forty-something. Tell me how you feel… haha. I was hiking and doing weighted walks in a mountainous area this weekend, and my thighs are sore.
Well I can feel my abs and lower back muscles but that was expected 😅 my 'normal' training rides are ~55-ish but that's without MTB tracks so this was definitely harder.
A big difference between our locations is we don't have any mountains, the biggest climbs are on to bridges and dykes, climbs 1 minute max.
weighted walks huh, sounds tough in mountains, well done!
