went out to ride after being stuck at work on a nearly perfect day. after quickly pedaling home i got changed and headed out with ideas of climbing zion rd. instead i rode around and though about riding the time trial course for the crca. decided instead to head down through neshanic and climb up long hill rd. long hill was a bit of a task staying seated the entire time. helped me to keep in mind that i had the great decent down zion coming.

after blazing down zion something in me snapped and i did something never before done. i turned around and headed right back up zion! this proved to be a very good move. standing nearly the whole way up it gave me an idea of how i may attack warrenville rd when trying to climb it. after getting to the top my lung were not as burnt out and my legs werent as tired either. one thing that was sore were my thumbs! the constant pressure of my upper body being supported by them on the handlebars gave me a new soreness never experienced before.

so now my plan to attack warrenville road is taking shape. soon ill have to find a new mountain to climb after that. :) ride;
