Driver:
Calories: ???

Quality Level: N/A
Observations/Intel: I kind of wish I could I find, no, I DO wish I could find a relatively level place to ride in the area, but those are few and far between. I might look around for one elsewhere, though, as I'm definitely not ready for hills as of yet. The problem with going deeper into the valley is that the hills down going West are way steep, so I need to also find a route to get back, if I ride there. I may just go off exploring, as I think if I go south first and then more westerly, that could work out...still need to spend some time planning it, though, as a number of streets over that way are a little on the not super safe side for biking...I should also probably at least make a note of what time I'm starting out...it's still pretty soft there, but I was gone less than an hour and probably less than 45 minutes, but I don't know a range any closer than that.

I went in hoping for 5 laps at the park and managed 2 3/4 and the last bit, as I live a bit uphill, was murder. On the good note, I will be able to use the different gears on the crank, even though I don't really like how they shift, but I'd like to have somewhere level to do some laps and training there. I can't imagine how awful it would be without some solid time on the AirDyne leading into this. Legs were also a bit weary going in, which is definitely not helping thing and I'm about to start a week of incorporating more salads, so the caloric boost probably won't be there. Tentative plan is for the AirDyne Tuesday, but off until then, as the weather, except for maybe Monday, won't be accommodating. I need to let Legs catch up better, I guess. And stop being so much of a fatass. 

Mileage on the Trek for the year now at 23.
