a quick 50
My last ride was fun and fast for this time of year. North and South, East and West. Moving at a good pace. Doing the 65% thing as much as I could. Staying out of the "red zone". Feeling rested in my gear choice. Well, till a steep hill showed up. Just work up those as best as I could. The bike was working perfect. The roads were kind of clean for this time of year. Pavement for this old man. No dirt please. I found almost every hill in this little corner of the Island. It feels good to be climbing all the time. Doing the roads that are hard. Taking the less traveled routes. The routes that have the hardest climbs. Well except for one climb out of Glendale. That hill will just have to wait for another day. I'll bring some rock climbing gear to get up that monster. This spring I will go to Glendale again. This last ride was Bayview, Andresen, Lone Lake, Goss Lake, East Harbor, Baby Island, Saratoga, Langley, Maxwelton, French, Bailey, Cultuss Bay, Jewett, Glendale, Holst, Deer Lake, Humphrey, Orr, Heggenes, and over a few twice, then home with a nice 50 on the odometer. A fine ride in 50 degrees for a while, then it dropped to 46. Not bad at all. I'm off the bike for my normal every other day ride today. The body is unhappy. Just could not warm up this AM. I was real tired to. Second day in a row on being so tired. Not good!
