Ok. Thank you guys for some good suggestions. I can't believe how INSIDE the box I was thinking on this one! And yes, after two years of riding when I can I am only qt twelve miles. When I getting to the point where I can NAIL that one route i peter out. It's a full-on block for me. I'm going to break it this week! Thanks again for the support and suggestions.
