Where to put the candy.

I'm a "save the best to last" kind of guy. The best on this ride IMO is the stretch along the Columbia and by Sandy Delta, so I typically would save it to the second half of the ride. However, I recognize now that I'm past 70 that saving the best to last is no longer a smart strategy. So on Audz's suggestion, I rode this ride today in reverse, putting the best part in the first half. I'm sold now--this is the best way to do it.
