Sunday workouts
They name all the rides, and this one was called handlebars, hills, & Holsteins.
I think they just didn't want to scare people away. It should have been named hills, hills, and mountains. We had a couple 16 degree hills that never seemed to end. If only you got to go down hill for as long as you went uphill. I hit 40 mph a couple times going downhill. Man thats fun, it almost makes the leg burning climbs worth it.
I think what sucks the worst is thinking that you are almost at the summit, you go around a corner and you realize there is another even steeper climb ahead of you. ughh.
We had one guy on a recumbant bike. He really suffered climbing the hills, but he hauled some major butt going down hill. I was doing 40 mph, and he was gaining on me like I was standing still. He was flying.
All the complaining aside, I'm really liking these long weekend rides.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
I took a rest day, got to get into my rheumatologist -- my arthritis is kicking my butt. Only a couple fingers really hurt, it's the exhaustion. Tomorrow will have to be my long run, hopefully in the morning, depending on how I feel I'll either do the group bike tomorrow or a swim.
He wouldn't let me pay for the extra hour of work either. The bike would perform fine on the rack, but put it on the street and ride it, you couldn't shift. He probably had 2+ hours of adjusting on that bike, and only charged me for the first hour. Since he wouldn't let me pay for it, I bought a t-shirt with his shops logo/name on it. I'm working registration at the Vineman 70.3 event next weekend. I plan to wear the shirt and advertise the store. He has a booth at the vendor expo.
I love shopping small local businesses, and this guy has again earned my business. I just wish he had a bigger variety of bikes. I want to buy my new bike from him, but since it is such an expensive purchase, I'm going to ride them all and see which one I like the best.
Maybe he can order or get another manufacturers brand if I tell him that's what I want.

But I just remembered my first one had a 4 mile run....
I think that's cool that you're going to do it with a buddy. I'm trying to get Mini-Mac to do one with me and then I'd do it that way. But she's not cooperating.
