Thursday's Hills

The ride yesterday was the same as on Tuesday. John didn't make it, so there was no joking to speak of, but we managed to find other things to gossip about.

Yesterday I noticed that I was beginning to memorize the turns on St. Katherine. Before, I was just trudging along, mentally asking myself "Are we there yet?" Yesterday, for the first time, I noticed myself saying "Oh good, only 3 more turns," or "That short steep section is next." Other than that, I notice that I'm acclimating to these hills, and slowly inching up the speed on my descents. I've still got a long ways to go until I catch up to Gary, but its clear that youth has its benefits.
