HILLS! Pretty much made a tour of all of the big hills in the park. Saw Greg Cutahee walking to work. Almost ran him over is more like it. I should probably say hi to him propperly later today.

Great ride mostly with Rusty, but last lap was alone. Riding partners are really nice to push off of eachother to keep the pace up. Drafting wasn't so bad either. Basic Forest Park loops on the interior path and exterior bike path.

Wednesday night ride with Recycled Cycles. Was going great (going on the long ride, which should be 29 miles) until my left cleat got too worn down to use at all. And by great I mean that I was getting beat to hell by all of the hills on the ride. I'm going to try to map out that ride. Check out the profile of the ride. It wasn't fun.

Another trip down the River Front Trail. Rode just after it stoped raining, so a whole lot of spray and a couple wheel slips. It also made the two gravel sections quite interesting when one of my wheels sank about two inches into mud. I had two deer run along side me (about 20 feet to the side of the path) for about a mile, which was pretty cool.

Riverfront trail ride. Beautiful ride all the way. Started just as the sun was getting orange and ended just as it left sight. A lot of bugs in two or three areas making it hard to breath (i really mean a lot) and two gravel areas which were a little scary. Very brutal headwinds during the ride out (avg mph something like 13.4), but was flying on the way home (avg something like 18 mph.) Spent a lot of time in the drops both ways, which are becoming more comfortable now. Attaching a map below. I didn't ride all of what is marked on the map. I decided to stop where you have to cross the road the first time, not knowing that I was only two miles from the real end of the ride.

So this is two rides that I didn't get a chance to clear the computer between, so I'll try to separate the info where I can.

So the first ride was the Tuesday Night Ride with Maplewood. It was a pretty good ride. I stayed with the lead group for almost all of the ride (they lost me half way through a 3 mile uphill spring) and passed a couple people on the hill of death half way through the ride. But I chipped my left cleat, so its time for a new set of those (birthday time!).

Second ride was just too hot, and I hadn't eaten yet, so it kinda made for a miserable ride.
