 Hills and Rain
Had my first hill day today with a climb up Steuben in Montour and the back side of Chambers Hill. Wasn't very aggressive on either climb and so didn't do much except get over them. Thought there would be less wind involved today but it still plagued me between the climbs and on the back nine where I had planned but did not receive on a tailwind. Back is still the weak link and gave me some trouble but legs felt good despite yesterday's relatively long ride. Had rain between the two climbs in Beaver Valley but the temperature was warm enough that it really wasn't an issue. Unfortunately the front that brought the rain also shifted the wind, so I caught headwind at the start and the finish. I did have a the wind behind me on the downhill and that produced some high speeds and the most enjoyable part of the ride.
