The Fun and the Pain

Biking has been a chore most of the past few months around here, but things are getting better. Started going out to Kensington Metropark once a week recently. They have a small hill loop with some good climbing (which Al introduced me to last season). The loop is only 3.5 miles, but you get about 300+ feet of climbing in with each loop.

Us flatlanders have to improvise, yo.

Today's ride was with Daryl. We did a few easy miles and then four hill loops (that's 1200+ feet of climbing!). After that, as is our custom, we did a lap around the lake. It was a good day. I finally took the camera with me to take a few shots this time.

The fun. These are the rollers!
