Today was the third iteration of the Sunday hill ride. (Or really the second…last week barely counts.) We did the same route we did 3 weeks ago with Graham, Isaac and Andy. Today it was Nathan, Aaron and Andy, who was sporting his brand-spanking-new-sub-16-pound-full-campy-record cervelo. It was all Nathan today. He won every climb except Mountaindale (we took the Walter Carey approach this time), and I’m pretty sure he wasn’t contesting that one. I was second on all but Mountaindale, which I won. However, Andy did remarkably well, and I was in  danger of losing to him on just about every climb. Aaron, I think, was just along for the ride and took it easy on most of the hills. I really need to remember to bring my camera on this route sometime so I can grab a picture of a sign on Breakneck Hill road (a hill we descend) that reads “8% next 7 miles”…I’m pretty sure there’s supposed to be a decimal in front of the 7 (and even then, that hill might max out at 8%, but it’s not a consistent 8%), since descending 7 miles at 8% would probably put you a couple thousand feet below sea level.
