I still think early starts work better even though the humidity in July will be 95%; there are fewer cyclists & fewer kids trying out new bikes – there’s generally less traffic & less danger. My single Bidon though is becoming an issue. I sweated off 8 pounds today & that’s never a good thing. I may have to try an uncomfortable-looking Camelbak soon.
I stayed with the sprinting gear even though Saturdays usually mean the heavy bike on 15 (I’ve switched her over to 16) teeth working the legs in hills on the tough gear will get me where I will want to be in September a little faster.
4 trips up Frisbee Hill & no leg issues.
