Anyway, I did some hills of my own today, but I've long since lost the reckless abandon I once had. Traded it in for some aged wisdom and a good set of brakes.
I needed to do some climbing today, so I went to my old standby, Grant Hill Road. But today, I pushed a bigger gear than I normally would, just to see if I could do it, and also to start building some leg strength. Grant Hill, Wormer, and Relyea Roads all provided some short pitches that I rode this way, and it felt pretty good. The legs are coming along.
When I reached the southernmost point from home, a big northerly headwind began to blow, and it was a struggle all the way home. Well, I was looking for a workout, so I guess I shouldn't complain. It was a good ride, and the sunny cool weather was extremely welcome, despite the wind.
