Well maybe swore at, or sweated on, would be a better description! I did my normal 20 mile hill repeat ride twice and didn’t even have to go down into my very easiest gear to get up them. I guess I must be getting a little better. I still felt pretty good after the hill ride so I decided to keep going. I ended up riding my first metric century 64.5 miles with an average of 15.1mph, my furthest ride ever. I have a four day ride coming up Labor Day weekend . The short days are 69 miles, the long one is 100, and the hills are monsters compared to my training hills around here. I don’t know how to get better except to just keep on riding.
