 Short and Sweet
Felt better in the morning but planned on going out of town for the day and only had time for a short early ride. Went with the default short ride up Johnson Hollow. Thought I would try to ride hard and make an attempt at an hour. Went fairly well as had some good spin and kept good time to Millport in the headwind. Lost my snap going through Millport though and lost a little speed before starting the climb up the hollow. Started off climbing well but couldn't carry it over the top and had to back off a little. Once I got over the first mile the pace picked back up and had a good time on therest ofthe climbing section of the course. Average for the climb was better than the average up the grade in the headwind. Didn't get back onto highway with the average I needed to break twenty but figured I could get over nineteen with a strong ride on the downhill section. Felt and road fast all the way to the bottom of the descent in Watkins as the legs had lots of speed in them today. Didn't do what I had to do on the last two miles into the headwind on the flats back to Montour and failed to get evan the nineteen. But it was a really fun ride even if I failed on my attempt at going fast.
