In blatant disregard for typical February temperatures at 5:00 AM in SC, one of my mid-week workouts on the bike this week said the following “… 30min of hill repeat at under 50rpm...find a hill!” I took this as a very subtle hint that I needed get off the trainer and go ride some hills. Thankfully nature made it easy on me with a balmy 50 degree morning.
So I loaded some French Roast on my road bike (fitting, no?) and proceeded to ride hills for 90 minutes by moonlight.
I really did ride a lot of hills. See ...
You can see the repeats at the beginning of the ride. After a few of those on a long hill, I just a cruised a hilly 1 hour loop and kept it in the biggest gear. There was a full moon and I had the roads to myself. It was very peaceful.
After 85 minutes dawn broke and I was treated to a sunrise for my last 5 minutes of the ride.
It was a great way to start the day. I miss the summer!
