Today we rode the full twelve-mile SlickRock Trail! It was challenging, and at times downright scary. It didn’t help that I read the sign at the trailhead declaring Slickrock one of the most difficult trails in Moab. Talk about psyching myself out! I walked some, rode a lot, dropped down hills that terrified me, and climbed to the top of others that I never thought I’d make it up. In the end, I was high on endorphins and the feeling of success.
After the ride, in addition to an ice cold stout from the local brewery, my body craved some counter-movement. The last thing I wanted was to stretch into down dog after holding my body weight on my wrists and a white knuckled grip on my handle bars, but I sure found it easy to surrender into supta virasana for ten minutes!
