Uphill with 2 feet is harder than 2 tires #outdoortraining #shorts

Funny how a trail you’re so familiar with downhill on your #mtb is like a foreign land hiking with your feet uphill. I knew this would be a good choice for winter #backcountry pack training as it’s steep enough to get my heart going, rocky enough to make me watch my step, but not so ridiculous for me to not want to keep going. It’s early season for my winter practice so I’m easing into steeper hikes and harder days on the trail. Next time I’m out here though, it won’t be easy going with clear trails and perfect weather. Odds are everything will be buried in snow and I’ll really be trudging uphill. Here’s to a strong winter… both me and the snowpack! #practicemakesprogress #babysteps #keepmoving
