I moved back to hilly Cincinnati from flat Cleveland. Today I thought I was going to have not such a good commute. I rode my fixed gear yesterday and my legs were a little sore and tired. There is one hill that is quite difficult for me. All hills are hard for me since I haven't had to ride on any for such a long time. Today was the easiest for me to take that hill. I was pleasantly surprised.
This hill usually kills my legs and the rest of the ride is more difficult than it should be. But not today!
On the way home there is another hill, not as bad but it still gets me. It was also the easiest I have ever went up it. I actually got home and didn't feel very tired. I took the dog out for a longer than usual first walk.
