Wednesday ride...

We left Vicious Cycle early yesterday to get out to Bull's Gap and back before dark. The days are shorter now. And they get shorter by about a minute a day. It won't be long till there isn't enough time to do a ride of that length. I didn't push as hard as I had up to Sycamore. Everyone seemed content to ride slower. I experimented with standing in the pedals to climb and found it to work better. I get some benefit from my mass that way.
