Poprad

I cannot climb a friggin' hill!!! I need to work on my hill climbing. So I am going to start picking routes based on hills - few and far between, but I am convinced I can do it. The Williston Rd Quick Route is basically the same as the Shady Oak Quick Route, but extends the trip by a few miles and Williston Rd, between Excelsior Blvd and HW7 has a few big hills.

Also, a word to the wise....always keep the chain and cassette clean and lubed! I didn't have a chance to clean and lube the Poprad from yesterdays "Grande Rounds" ride and it was squeaking the whole trip. Very embarrassing, considering that squeaks are a pet peeve of mine and I always complain about other peoples' lack of bike care and maintenance. Luckily, I didn't bump into anyone I knew while I was riding....

Great day, with little to no headwinds, but cold in the mid 30's....
