Shefly - I rode the course again today and made myself stay in a bigger gear - didn't really like it, but had no problem handling it (I have a tendency to want as easy a gear as I can use while still pedaling fluidly). It actually took a 1 1/2 min off my previous time and I wasn't even pushing the speed that hard. I definately need more time in the bigger gears, though, as my legs were getting tired at the end trying to keep a decent cadence.

I stayed in the aerobars for a longer time period. The area with the rollers is on a pretty rough road, so I'm not comfortable staying in them on that section right now. I use them on a couple of other short hills, and it worked pretty well.

Hopefully I'll get to do this next month with the club, otherwise I'll just ride it myself to see how I've improved.
