Stumbled across a bridge today so I took a picture. It had a surprisingly steep ramp up for a car bridge. I’m looking for some ways to expand my favorite 18-mile loop, so today was a 22 miler that did a decent job. There were some busier roads on this route than I typically like to find, but overall I’d give it a 7/10 on the extra mileage.

My quads burned quite a bit today, but my heartrate stayed lower which is a good sign. I think I might start adding gym sessions to improve my peak watt generation. It was mostly an easier ride, just cruising around the city a bit. I might do another like this tomorrow as well.

After the ride I went and soaked in the hot tub for a bit while I ate my dinner. Great way to wind down after the ride.

Best,

Ben
