8 miles of mountain biking on the Big Water trail at the top of Millcreek Canyon. Saw two moose, a mother and a calf, just off the trail by the first bridge. I stopped and took a couple of crappy pictures with my phone. Then I went to dog lake and then over to the Great Western Trail via the Little Water Trail--which is some intense downhill. There were a couple of spots where I could not have stopped if I wanted to. (I probably ought to get a bike with disc brakes.) The part of the GWT just after the Little Water junction is my favorite part of that trail so I went out a ways and then turned around and continued down the Little Water Trail. More intense downhill. My forearms are tired from braking so much. Apart from the stop to take a picture of the moose, I only stopped to turn around. I've never been able to do that before up there. I also overtook a few riders at various places--which is something I haven't often been able to do. I think of myself as a slow rider, but I'm getting faster. It is a lot of hard work, but it is more fun to be in shape. Data...
