Monday was a hard ride. First of all, the temperature was in the upper 90's. Secondly, I chose a very hilly route in West Salem, And lastly, I worked as hard as I could. Remenber, the hills will make you strong. On Tuesday, it was hotter but I took it easiler. I did the same mileage as Monday (27 miles) but instead of 1600' of elevation gain, I gained only 644'. I can not ride on Wednesday as I must attend the Salem Bicycle Club Board meeting. But, it back to the hills on Thursday. As to this weekend ride, I have decided to do Marys Peak and it should take me all day. I am glad that the temperatures will be much lower than the last few days.
