Another Tuesday night ass kicking for me yesterday. We did about 8.6 miles, but there was quite a bit of tech and ups and downs. This was the third week in a row of doing this ride at Trumbull and each ride was different from the last. They covered some of the same terrain for sure, but there was more than enough new/different stuff to keep me on my toes. Actually even if it was the same exact ride I'd still be on my toes. I am starting to know some sections by now at least, so it's a bit less nerve racking in spots. Some day I may even know my way around. :beer:
I'm really digging these Tuesday night rides, I just wish Trumbull wasn't so far from my house. It's not that I mind the close to hour drive home so much, it's that it's so late by the time I get home. Getting home at 10pm after a long day and a couple of hours of pedaling my ass off all I want to do is crawl into bed, let alone put all my bike shit away, take a shower, and eat dinner. Also my car radio can't pick up any decent radio stations down that way. So I spend a good part of the drive constantly scanning for anything worth listening too, all the while wishing I hadn't cancelled my Sirius subscription, or had a MP3 player hookup... :roll:
Here's the track for Gary:
