supposed to be a hot one today so i got out early. the new bike got taken for its first real ride today. did zion rd and then back up long hill after riding around in the mountain for a bit. this is a first for me. after coming down the hill, i chose to climb back up again. proof that i am in fact getting stronger :)

the scotts(new bike) performance was good. it took me 2 less minutes to climb up zion and coming back down went 4mph faster. it did feel harder going up, but this may have been in my head. knowing there was no more gears to go into to make it easier i had to grind it out at times. but this will work me harder and in the end make me better;
