Jul-4: 6 am - Ba-room returns

Jul-4:

PUE - 6 am: Norwood-HickoryGrove-Leesville U-turn-ShadyGr-MVC; w/ Barry; 22.2 miles; est 654 ft climbed ---> effort index = 28; 1hr, 25min; 15.6 mph avg pace.

1st Qt. tot: 20 rides; 755.3 m.; 47 hrs, 31 min; 15.9 mph.
2nd Qt. tot: 43 rides; 2124.3 m.; 134 hrs, 59 min; 15.7 mph.
Jul tot: 2 rides; 106.5 m.; 6 hrs, 23 min; 16.6 mph.
YTD: 65 rides; 2986.1 m.; 188 hrs, 53 min; 15.8 mph.

I might consider this and the 8 am ride as ONE ride, but I conceived of them as separate rides with separate goals, so I will record and write them up as separate rides. (Goals: 6 am - help Barry get back on the track for his Wilmington Sprint Tri. 8 am - just hang on.)

Barry finally fot his road bike back into condition so he can actually ride it. He joined me for a short ride to start his training for the Wilmington Sprint Tri.

On Shady Grove Rd, Barry thought he saw a hill, and then decided to challenge me to race to its crest. Result best described by this quote from Barry: "You didn't even get out of the saddle!"

Try again next time, Baroom.
