Biking to Nowhere V

Okay, so, I realized on tonight's bike trip that it's getting really boring doing the exact same route every single time I go out. I'm going to branch out and try some different routes. So, this series of blogs may, at some point, gain some level of readability.

This trip did have a bit of its own merit, though. On my previous trips, I frequently found myself trying to gain speed on the downhills (while it was easy) and then trying to carry the momentum into the following uphill. The problem with this, of course, is that no matter how hard you petal going downhill, it's never good enough. So today I took it easy on the level and downhill portions of the trip, and tried to put extra effort into short bursts on the uphill portions. It worked out pretty well. It wasn't my fastest time ever, but I never had a chance at that tonight anyway.
