went out after some rest from the morning ride. went solo since mike rode earlier in the day. knew i either wanted to go out for a nice long ride or a short hard ride. chose to do some hill repeats since they were something ive sadly gotten away from. on my way out though i stopped at someones house who had put out a nice recliner for free! talked with them and decided i was going to pick it up after my ride. so right away my ride was a success!

got to zion and headed up at a good pace using the large ring. i felt some resistance in my legs to start but it quickly faded after getting half way up the hill. to my surprise i owned the hills today. though they werent a walk in the park my pace and gear choices were tight. while standing my accelerations were at a better level than that of earlier in the year. maybe getting away for the hills for sometime was good for my legs.

long hill was much of the same as zion. i dare to say it felt somewhat easy for what that hill used to be to me. my legs just felt good today and everything was in its right place. maybe it had to do with the tempature. dont know. but overall it was a good ride getting in 4 climbs. zion and long hill twice. ride;
