GAIN

I have been cutting minutes off each of my four weekly bike runs.

They all started at an hour and now are down to 50-55 minutes.

I am going faster.

So today, I added an extra hundred yards of hill.

On the run out to Andreas HIlls, there is a long long long hill that I used to be able to top. The ride down is incredible.

But time, tide, and training effort eroded that peak, so to speak. I fell back to half the hill.

The hundred yards is a piece of the harder half of the hill. Maybe I can make it to the top again.

I don't believe that aging is all down hill. Some of it is. But not going up hills, if you get my drift.

Besides if Lance can take the hills with the same or more vigor in his 7th Tour, this is the least I can do.
