More hill, more Cedar Ridge
Posted on 24. Dec, 2006 by Brad in Training
This weekend, we went to the hill again, but I only got in 2 repetitions. I had set my alarm an hour later than I would have needed to get there on time. Luckily there were a couple other club members there already. So I put in about 20 minutes and then we decided to spend another couple hours.
We headed west on I-20 to check out Cedar Hill State Park. It would be only my second run there and we were planning to run the biggest loop. When we arrived at the ranger station, we were told that the trails were closed because they were too muddy. Whatever. I can understand that bikes can really tear up a trail, but we already had mud all over our shoes. I keep my Texas Gold Passport so that I can run on a whim and not pay the $5 entrance fee. This put a sour note on things.
So we headed to our old standby, the Cedar Ridge Preserve. We put in a couple of loops and 2 hrs on Cedar Brake trail and then called it a day. It was less mileage than we might have had at the smoother trails at the State Park, but the terrain will certain pay dividends at Bandera.
