Heat Hills & Humidity
Damn it was humid on Saturday!! The Clones and I went out to do some hill training ...we might as well have been breathing cheesecake. Since we will be riding in the MS Society's "
Hike & Bike the Berkshires" on September 18th. , I put together a route connecting 12 of the toughest hills in the Andover area. There are a couple of climbs that leave you no choice but to granny up, but with the 90+ temps and rain forrest humidity it was tempting to granny up all the hills. Whining aside, it was actually a good ride. I'm feeling good about doing the Berkshires this year. Were it not for the fact that on the two Saturdays following the event I'm going to be doing consecutive centuries, I'd actually like to do the Mt. Greylock Challenge this year. Oh well, maybe I'll give it a shot next year on my new bike :)
