Did anyone else ride?
It was really windy here yesterday, so I bagged my ride, but today I rode 22.5 miles, including Oak Hill.
And, I found out why I kind of have been feeling like a slug on my Kuota the past 2 weeks. I haven't ridden my Guru at all, and I've been having back issues. I felt like my lowest gear on the Kuota wasn't low enough and climbing was really hurting my back.
Today, when we stopped before the climb of Oak Hill, DH heard my bike squeaking as I got started. He told me stop, and lo and behold, my rear brake had been rubbing. No wonder I felt "off." I seriously was worried my impending 60th birthday had caused a sudden loss of strength. The rest of the ride was much better, and I am not worried about suddenly turning into a sloth.
