Longest ride of the year so far...

I rode from my house to Michelle's house today... it took me about 2:15, and was approximately 38 miles. I doubted at the beginning of the ride if I could make it... and the second decade of miles was the hardest... and due to the wonders of technology I now know why they were the hardest...

check this out http://www.heywhatsthat.com/profiler.html... it's a path profiler... type in a point, then the next, and if you're using roads, click smooth path... then type the next point, smooth path, etc. until all points are in... and then click draw profile...

this is my route from today...

But now I see WHY my legs hurt most during the second decade... that's where the worst climb was!
