Hey all. Got out on the trails for the first time in like 10 years yesterday. Oh my goodness it kicked my butt. I only read about 6 miles then also into Lewis Morris. I couldn't even get up the first incline on the yellow up from the first bridge (going clockwise). I'm soooooo out of shape. And even though my current bike has 26" wheels I was struggling so much with some of the sharp turns. I even had to get off a few times and walk it downhill since I wasn't comfortable I could make the turn. Totally embarrassed. I only went to the top of yellow then cut to red then back to yellow. Took me like 90 minutes and I only did like 4.5 miles in the park oh and of course since I didn't think it would take long I had no water.
What did I learn? Don't get old and out of shape. I hope it gets easier
