Good morning.. I was up at 4:30… the temp looks like about 30...
I got my lights yesterday on the way to work.. and put them up when i finally got home.
I got a couple of rides in last night. I wanted to do the ride, that my computer shut down that last time.. and a little 3 mile ride popped up.. I decided to do that as a warm up. I guess I should have checked the grades.

It was an out and back… we rode on relatively flat ground to start with.. but very quickly it went to 19.6 percent!!

and from there it kept climbing.. It occasionally slacked off to 10 and 11 percent.. it got as steep as 22. Man that hurt.. especially with no warm up.
I sat to recover a little and to check out my stats.. then did my other ride. I had the 3 previous riders in as ghost. This ride hurt.. my chaser.. was harder to deal with than I remembered.. of course I might have ridden stronger my last ride. He seemed to be always 7-12 seconds back. Although at around 13 or so miles.. he seemed to fade a little.
This course was a local ride that we do.. but for some reason.. there are some hills on it, that are much worse than they are in person. I am guessing that is a garmin issue.
I have a little more wrapping to do today. I am not sure what else I will do.
