bang for buck

Got in a lunch ride today. Good bang for amt. of time. Northfork to Friendship road back on Den hill to Jenelle road. Several steep climbs in there.

I've not felt particularly fast on the bike at all this year. Sometimes grateful to not have the racing over my head, othertimes down because I'm not laying it on the line at the races. Regardless of finish placing there is an incredible sense of accomplishment from racing.

Though just doing these types of ride with some built in difficulty definitely gives some fitness benefit. While the snap isn't here there is definitely some strength in the legs.
