Native Planet – Thursday night hill climb

I rode this weekly ride for the first time in about two years (my schedule at work these days doesn’t allow me to make it to this ride anymore).

It was great to be out tackling these familiar hills again. It’s a 25-30 mile loop depending on what hills we decide to tackle which basically involves blasting up a steep hill, regrouping at the top, descending quickly and repeating. The various climbs have evolved nicknames over the years with evocative names such as Deaththreat, Guillotine, and Goat Hill.

It’s a good group of strong climbers to ride with and a nice training ride. I’m looking forward to my new lighter wheels arriving next week so I can kit out the bike better for hills.
