The Humps and Bumps of Single-Track Bicycling Seems to be Getting Bigger?

All pictures taken with an i-phone.
It is hard to make the pictures look as a steep as they are.
All the bumps I have ridden in the past.

                                                                  Taking pictures gives me a chance to take a quick rest.

















Little rises on the single-track seem to be getting bigger and harder to ride up. The legs give out sooner, I chicken out a little sooner, and I like to ride when it is dry out. Getting older and training little, does have a few drawbacks.
Muscles that hurt after riding? Hmm? Legs both quads and hams, tris and biceps, lower back and stomach, hip flexors and butt, rota-tor cuff muscles and the hands. Who says that MTB does not use all the bodies muscles? If your hand eye coordination, and balance are not good, you are headed for a wipe out. I sure do not remember having those kinds of aches in a by gone era!

All pictures are were taken inside a city with a metropolitan population, of over a million people. In fact less then a 15 minute bike ride from my house are where the first pictures are taken.
The fall colors are beautiful so get out and enjoy. I am going to drink some milk, and take a power nap!
