As I had not ridden in 10 days, my mantra for today was...easy.
So, a solo 20 today that included ascending all the way up the longest grade in my area. I usually go about half way up and reverse course, but today I thought what the heck. I found that at 8-9mph I can climb up it without too much effort (that may come later...) Average was OK for a solo ride. I need to get out more now that the temps are up, but we usually see some pretty unrelenting stiff winds here in March.........
