I rode hard tonight. First, I went out by myself and climbed Gibson Hill. I rode as hard as I could and finished two minutes faster than my last attmept and just ten seconds slower than my fastest time. Then I joined the group from Scott's Cycles and did even more hills. I hung with them till we reach the top of Waldo Hills and then dropped. I finished the evening with 52 miles. My next goal is the fall Death Valley Double. Joanne and I have signed up; she will be riding the century and I will do the double. I have ridden the northern course just once before. It has winds and hills, everything to make me happy. Meanwhile for the next two months I will ride some centuries and such.
