Notes
Holy cow. I went back for more and the hills continued to give. I PR'd the first big hill by a little bit, but the second big hill, I pussyed out about halfway up. Oh well, I think Kevin and Ryan are going to join me on Friday and I'll soldier through. Today the main goal was to get miles and some hills - not the other way around.
I really love riding through this area. Lots of long, wide hilly roads, beautiful houses and not much traffic - the perfect combo. The only thing missing is a place to get more water - so I worked around that with a camel back.
After I get the second big hill down another time or two, I want to try climbing Texas Plume.
Also of note, the first 30 minutes of the ride or so, my quads were killing me - all dem squats! I may or may not need to back off some of the squats until after HTH - I don't want to - but I need to ride that and Peach Pedal with the guys - so we'll see.
