Ken Hablow led. Bernie, Bob Wadsworth, Curt, Frank, Greg Stathis, Lindy, Marc, Patrick, Rich, Robin, Dan Bertko-Tucson friend of Greg's
Mostly we did not attack hills - Robin and Frank rode to the back for 10-15 miles until they finally reverted to form. Lots of other strong climbers.
Dan Bertko told me about a system for increasing mitrochondria in the cell (fuel burners) for hypoglycemics and diabetics - will send me links to articles. For folks who can't use Skittles as the rescue inhaler.
Peach Hill Rd in Berlin to W Berlin Rd and on Harvard Rd hill from Rt 117 in Bolton I was able to get HR to upper 130's for first time in a long while and was able to spin uphill very quickly - enough to keep up with Frank and Robin for the first time ever. There have been a few other occasions this year when I could hit 140 (Sawyer Hill, Long Hill), but I can't predict when or why they will occur - but on those occasions I see to be able to keep up with anyone - now if I could only bottle that - or turn it into long distance performance - or just enjoy it when it happens.
