Amp it up

Who would have thought that nearly a year ago I bought my Cannondale and in that time I've come a long way. I actually look forward to grabbing my gear and heading out for a ride.

On Sunday I headed out for the 17-mile Ag Farm loop that I used to frequent last summer. I was pleasantly surprised that I was more comfortable on the bike, navigating around, shifting, stopping and overall my fitness was much better. Who would have thunk it!

After the 17 mile loop we rolled home and unexpectedly opted to do a few hill repeats up a neighboring hill. Let me say that it was quite a hill. Though my legs and lungs were burning after the fourth ascent, it felt good to add some stress so that there was no mistake about it --- it's time to take this a little more seriously and amp it up.
