I was late riding today from messing around on my computer. Outside it was starting to rain heavy as a new front moved in so not any decision on riding outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose the Watopia Jungle Circuit for the ride. The last time I rode it was January 23, 2022. With the name &#8220;Jungle&#8221; I switched to the mountain bike. The lead-in was on paved roads making me think I made the wrong bike choice but the dirt appeared finally. Then I wondered, maybe the gravel bike would&#8217;ve been better. No stopping to change bikes though. I rode at a good pace setting a personal record on the second lap on the Jungle Loop thanks to my pace partner and some hard pedaling. I rode the lead-in and then 2 laps on the Jungle Loop for a total of 13.61 miles and 607 feet of climbing. The climbing was up one hill twice with some fast downhills afterward. I rode two laps to get more than 10 miles to make it an &#8220;official&#8221; ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"width:100%;height:450px;\"
