Tuesday 7/5 Simsbury B Ride - Oh My! That's HILLACIOUS (gasp)

with 100 degree days coming this week, today is last day in decent weather for climbing. We'll hit 3 major backwoods climbs of Woodchuck, Barbourtown & Steele packed into the first half, with a flat run for the second half. Pace will need to be on the easier side tonight since I am nursing some soreness. I'll try to post a Queue sheet before the ride, but hit the link to see the route.

This is a "B" ride (generally averaging 15-18 mph) - Route varies weekly, exploring areas west, north, and east of Simsbury. Rides are generally hilly given our part of the state. Regroups always occur at key points, certainly at the tops of climbs. This Ride's is considered "Progressive" where each week the distance, speed and climb increase as riders improve and we chase the sunset for maximum ride time.
