Boy, I was touting Cedar Grove as being hilly and it was not. :( I guess the last time I was on this road the pace was pretty hot and I was struggling to catch someone, eh?
Anyway, it was a super day! Not too cold, great company (Jim K, RC R, Todd M) and just rode and chatted. I stuck to the front along Jones Road and then got in a good effort all the way up Rainier. It pretty much gassed me but I felt like I needed it and I was feeling a LOT better than one week ago when I could barely hang on. To a bunch of guys on fixed gear bikes!
Today I rode with my GPS that I used in TransPortugal, I love that thing! But after about five miles the overly-complicated handlebar clamp slipped and I had to stuff it in my pocket. But you know what? It still worked! |
