My town sits on top of a bluff, and a bit of it is below the bluff. So, on days that I can only do 10 or so miles I try to go down and up the bluff like 4 times or so. I can make it up... but I'm super slow at that... some days I'm favoring the granny gears lots and only top out at 7-9 mph. There's 5 ways up the bluff, one I haven't touched yet because it's steeper than I want to tackle. Maybe sometime if I'm super fresh and it's my first attempt.

Anyway, yesterday my legs were kinda tired and it took some effort to crank my way up the easier route. I didn't even feel like standing. Though, standing seems weird to my leg muscles. I try to stand and pedal on flats and VERY briefly up hills to work my legs differently.

I was going to get up and go bike riding today... but I need to mow my yard (sometimes it's difficult to get the mower started after a work out)... AND there's a bit of a thunderstorm rolling through this morning = rain and lightning and no mowing or biking, for now.

Thanks for the input!
