 Catlin Hill
Nice arm day for some climbing. Thought I'd try Catlin Hill out and see if the legs were improving. Climbed well out of the saddle for the most part up Cemetery Hill but didn't capitalize on it across the rise to the next climb. Had a slight headwind which caused a little delay, but it really wasn't too bad. Went into Catlin Hill with an average of twelve and hoped to get to the top with at least an eleven. Lost too much on the steep stuff as just couldn't get the legs to going. Did a little better on the second part of the climb but the damage was done and could only get a ten nine. Spun down the decent into Horseheads and so didn't get the average back up. Was fairly well rested and did the climbs on Ridge Road at a good clip. Was probably aided quite a bit by the tailwind and spun fairly easily over the top. Legs were a little tired at the top so convinced myself I'd head home and do some more climbing in the afternoon, but got lazy and didn't get back out. Had a good time today.
