Todayโ€™s episode is a little Bonus update from me on whatโ€™s been happening in my world and whatโ€™s coming up.  Maybe you can relate, maybe you canโ€™t, but I hope some people will find it helpful. 


And my next race - as noted - is: 

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The NEOM Titan Desert Race KSA 

๐Ÿšฒ  380 KM

โ›ฐ๏ธ 2800m 

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Nov 17-23 - 5 days of racing including the Prologue 

๐Ÿ“ NEOM, Saudi Arabia 

๐Ÿ”— https://titandesertksa.com/en/ 



๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Recorded on top of Alpe Dโ€™Huez, I did make it out downhill mountain biking and please find below some resources in case you wanted to do the same: 


๐Ÿšฒ Where I rented my DH MTB Altitude Sports: https://www.altitudesports-alpedhuez.fr 

๐Ÿ’ถ Cost with insurance and all the gear was approx: 105 Euros 

๐Ÿšต๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ  Gear included body armor (mandatory apparently), helmet, knee pads, jersey and gloves, bring your own googles or glasses 

๐Ÿš  The lift (right across from the store) was about 26 Euros 

๐ŸŸข Green trails were very easy and flowy 

๐Ÿ”ต Blue trails were only slightly more difficult

โŒ I was riding alone so didnโ€™t attempt red or black trails this time around
