I was intending to go back to Hill Rd but it didn't happen and kind of glad. My back is still too tinder. I had to be extra careful not to push too hard on tonight's ride. Every time, I got excited my lower back squashed any thoughts of pushing. Going out I had a tailwind, felt really good but once I realized it wasn't me doing all the work my bubble got burst! It was all good I got to test out the new gearing more and get adjusted to it. I decided to do Hill Repeats, I wanted to do 10 but changed my mind as it was dark and this bike isn't setup for night training, plus the wind was in my face for the 1/2 mile hill repeats on Pointville Road. I actually enjoyed the repeats even with the wind! The last 6 miles was nice ride done at a comfortable pace. I can finally feel my fitness improving and training HR is starting to come down. I'm a little nervous about this Mountain TT race next week, I haven't done any real climbing in almost 10 years and I loved to climb, most of my climbing back then I would do standing and I never used or had climbing gears. Today's adventure was a huge success and looking forward to the next one... be safe out there and enjoy the ride and your great adventures!
