Oh how it blows! http://alan.lamielle.net/2009/04/24/the-wind-oh-how-it-blows http://alan.lamielle.net/2009/04/24/the-wind-oh-how-it-blows#comments Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:17:00 +0000 Alan LaMielle http://alan.lamielle.net/?p=74 Rode down to Loveland and back up through Masonville yesterday:

The ride took about 2 hours. It was quite windy, and heading south/west was a lot of work, north/east directions were quite nice though.

I left a bit later than I would have liked (~4:45), but the sun is setting around 7:15 now so I figured I would have enough time. I have been using MapMyRide for about a year, and here is the route I took:

I’m definitely not ready for a full ride up rist, but I did pretty well considering this was my first attempt this season. My legs started cramping towards the place where I turned around. I felt like I was out of energy (only my legs though, my lungs were great) and didn’t want to push myself past what I was comfortable with, so I decided to turn around. The descent was cold, but the temperature differential between start and end was enormous, and I warmed up quick. My legs were cramping on and off the whole way home.

Overall though, I’m pleased with how I did. I think I will finally hit the top after a few more attempts.
