Mountain Bike Season

 I shuffled down the coast looking to test out some MTB in La Ventana. Best known for kite surfing and other wind sports, there was a lull in the breeze and everyone was hitting the trails!




I thought by setting out at 7am, I'd dodge some of the heat, but no way. The sun was baking! Even though the air temp was 23c, I was in a roasting pan and drenched in sweat. The trails here were super fun!


The number of things trying to stick into my arms/legs/tires was ominous and yet beautiful. What a counterpoint to the green of BC.

I was bagged after 3 hours, meeting new friends, and consuming all my water. Time to swim in the 80F water at the beach.
