Ok, where to start? I did sneak in a ride while I was in Chattanooga on business; 43:22.0, 149 avg heart rate, max 166, 11.8 miles, 16.4 avg speed, 41.2 max, cad avg 90, started at 665' and climbed to 1790' with get this - a temp of 58-83'F. I can say the climb that Bicycle Magazine talks about in Chattanooga is a climb not to miss. The view is great, the road condition is very good & the traffic wasn't too bad. I didn't have enough time to climb the whole thing, but I'm glad I tried to get in as much as I did. The decent was great.....it's funny to have different parts of your body cramping on a really long descent. I can't believe the long drops the pros do.
This snow that I came back home to is enough to make a grown man cry. So much for continuing my workouts; just like my buddy Donny, I'm waaaaaaay over what weight I should be at; 162 right now vs 155. Damn, double damn. No excuses though, I'm just a weak excuse for rider right now.
Happy Easter to all.
Thanks for reading,
Rick
