Riding update

I had to take the last two days off because of busyness and bad weather, mostly bad weather.  But today was nice, mid 60s and dry, so I went out on a 3 1/2 hour ride to the Housatonic Hills race course to practice the hills.  My legs are now aching.  It was a good ride; I was able to maintain an almost 16 mph pace without working too terribly hard (average HR 150), which I’m pleased with, given all the hills.  I do hope this training helps when I get to the actual race in June …
