Fantastic! Seriously, this was the best afternoon trip I have had in the time that i have been commuting (since end of May). After pushing it hard a bit last week, I took the whole weekend off from biking, but spent time on refining my calorie/diet stuff, and relaxing.
For the first time, the long hills that I have on the way home were not an issue. In fact, this was the first time that they did not require me to slow down or coast when I reached each plateau!
All in all, a great ride!
