This also means I start baking and making comfort foods way more often. Even though the calorie intake goes up, this is the time where my preseason workout routine really kicks in. I add in more weights and reps to my weight training and lengthen my workouts and cardio to build up my endurance. Nothing is worse than getting onto the hill and realizing you should have focused more on leg day so that you can ride all weekend and keep up with the guys!
Being that women aren't as muscular naturally, we need to work a little harder in prepping for the season to make sure we can keep up all season long (and blaze past the guys who werent properly prepared for the first day on the slopes).
This means more miles, more weight, and more yoga!
This also means there are lots of preseason events in the works at my favorite local mountains!
The annual Crafts and Cranks event at Bear Mountain will be taking place this Saturday and is a great way to try the local craft beers and watch some more competition of the mountain bikers trying to win big money! This is sure to be a fun in the sun day with beer tasting, commemorative pint glass and some healthy competition to enjoy.
At the very same time in Mammoth you can also attend another craft brew event @ June Lake's Autumn Beer Festival! There will be all you can drink passes sold as well as another great competition.
These events only mean one thing... We are weeks away from opening day at both resorts. The countdown to snowfall begins! I will begin my rain dances shortly - remember, when it rains in LA, we get snow in our mountains! So, stop complaining and pray for rain!
