Another high point in my usual route, the actual East Reservoir is no longer used, but the hill is still there and it's surrounded by some nice low traffic roads. It's also home to one of the finest 18 hole Disc Golf courses in the country. At least that's what I hear from a serious disc golfing friend. I'm not a player, myself. Whatever frisbee throwing skills I used to have are completely shot.

I feel good about my rides this weekend. I pushed myself until my legs turned to mush, which should lead to building more muscle. I'm doing plenty of climbing, and not feeling as winded as a couple of weeks ago. No soreness to speak of.

If the weather cooperates, I'm planning a big ride next weekend to a Bed & Breakfast about 75 mi. straight south of here. It's a getaway for Angela and I. She'll drive and hopefully I won't be calling her to come rescue me. I'm not familiar with the roads, so I'll get to use my Google Mapping abilities. I'm not sure what to expect, but that's what makes it fun, or at least an adventure.
