THE 3 WAYS TO RIDE OUT OF A RUT
WHAT IS IT WITH RUTS? Some say they are graves with the ends kicked out. I'll tell ya this, when ripping some single track...
... a rut can put you on your lycra in not time.
Which brings up today's ride.
Surfergirl and I got up to Big Bear early, before the rest of the family.
After unloading, I shot out for a structured work out...
... at least that was the plan.
But, then I found myself on Skyline a beautiful fast and flowy trail that traces the highest ridge between Big Bear and the greater LA Basin.
Not a soul out there.
Just me.
Riding where I hadn't ridden for at least 5 years...
... the whole time I'm asking myself...
... Why aren't we up here once a month in when it's warm?
Ruts,
that's why.
Here's how people try to ride out of ruts:
- Ride in the rut and hope for the best
- Trying to ride up the side and out
- Bounce out
For me, the best solution is to bounce out.
If I want to exit on the left side of the rut, I will steer into the right side...
... to bounce off it and out the left side.
Which is what we are doing this weekend.
Bouncing out of our rut,
doing different.
