This one was hills. I did 8 repeats on a hill at the southern end of John Ball Park. It is a dead end drive to the "Hill Top Pavillon". There is a little play area and picnic area up there. This hill is relatively short but steep. On the last several repeats my speed dropped down to 5.2-5.6 MPH. I can just about run that fast up that hill. I kept on saying to myself "KOM, KOM, KOM" (King of the Mountain). There is a jersey at Twin Six that I really would like to get and it was sort of my inspiration for the KOM thing.
Why do this particular hill? Several months ago, another cyclist I know told me that he did this hill 20 times in a row once. I should say that he has also done the 24 Hour Challenge like 17 or 18 times. Naturally, my goal is to do 20 as well. Mikey likey challenges. I will definitely have to work up to this. This might become an early Saturday ride so I can have time to do it.
