alot of riding in the past couple of days. and one of my main goals for the year got accomplished.

i got up warrenville road! it was as tough as i expected and it was great. took some concentration and plenty of willpower but the mountain lost :)

in addition to that, and on the same ride, i did my first ride to cranford. took a little while after getting lost for a bit but eventually got there.

so today pete and i met up for some sprints. we went to different parks but met up after a bit and did some miles. he took me over to his place and it was like a bike history lesson. he has bikes from the last 3 decades that are all in pretty good condition and a great work shop in his basement. not to mention an awesome deck, jacuzzi, and a pony!

after a while we left and did about 30 more miles that included some sprints. the mercury started rising and the wind started kicking up and my gas tank was going empty. turned home and just died. my average speed dropped and my legs went heavy. todays ride;

d-53.62
t-3:09:26
as-16.98mph
ms-40.14mph
