Back into the Hills!Miles: 28.73 Elevation Gain: 1132' April Miles: 625.16 Year to Date: 3873.86 I joined the folks at Scott's Cycles for their Thursday Night ride, and I decided to ride with the "fast" group instead of the medium speed group like I did on Tuesday night. Well, I was hoping for a flatter ride, but no, up to the East Salem Hills we go. I managed to stay on as we climbed Macleay Hill, but they rode away from me on the next hill leaving me alone. So, since I was in the hills, I decided to get in a few more climbs and did the climb out of Shaw, Aumsville Hwy and then Joesph St. I worked hard and came in with a 17.9 mph average.
