Short ride but rode up East St. in Hayward then down 2nd, turn right go up East St then down 2nd turn right go up....then down 2nd to LBS and got glove liners, back up the hill to car.
East St used to get me off the bike walking at several points.
This was on the commuter because the road bike is at the LBS primping for the AIDS ride. I was slow as all get out and felt like I was gonna hurl at several key points (sorry TE).
Yikes hill repeats can be boring but .... glad I did it.
I wish I'd been doing this every week for like oh forever but it's good to know "here's a hill I could not ride before and now I can...a few times."

Me, me! Did 70km, half flat and easy, half "hardish" climbing. NO rain here, sunny, warm, 70 degrees.
