Tonight Nick and I road out of Cycle Concepts in Glastonbury for the first time. The ride was 17.25 miles at an avg 13.5 mph. This was very difficult for me to maintain at the accent was 1197 ft. Going up hill is agonizing for me, but coming back down is FAST! and fun. We must have avg about 30 mph for about 3 miles cruising down back roads. Sometimes I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was huffing and puffin from the beginning to the end of the ride tonight...Tough.
Nick and I ate whole wheat pasta at Giovanni's in Glastonbury with a spicey sause with Halipino peppers. I could only eat about 1/2 of it though, and took me quite a while to recover after the ride.
Will I ever be able to ride up the hills? I know it is early in the season, but I did work out all winter to be able to see some improvement might be nice.
