best ride... EVAAARRR

ok so 2 days off really paid off. today was the fastest ive ever attacked the hills, i was keeping at least 12 or 13 mph on even the steepest grades.

i took the first 7 miles easy, remembering the last time i took it hard how hard the climb back home was. after that though, i just blasted the pedals. on two separate flats, i hit 31 and 29 mph, which was great, that is only 6 mph shy of my fastest, and that was down a hill. i did have a nice tailwind, and a slight downhill going into it, but i definitly have never pedalled so hard in my life, and i loved it.

overall, i finished the 20 miles in about an hour and 15 minutes, a 15 mph or so pace. not the best i know, but im improving, and i coasted through most of the first half of my descents trying to keep some spare gas in the tank. i pushed a little longer out delong road through some beautiful horse farms. i wouldnt mind riding that a little more often.
