The climb to the top is generally feeling easier – today I even managed to be forced to stop only once, at the steepish bump near the top. I was a little frustrated with myself as I was so close, and the line I was on was no steeper than what I’d just climbed. Anyhoo, it’s all good progress and the times are reducing as is the recovery time.
In the last week I have also done Ikigai, Carparts, and Rollercoaster. Carparts was still freaky although the trail is getting a lot of love. Ikigai’s left handers screwed me up as usual, but I have ridden it a couple of times and want to make that a habit. Rollercoaster was super fun, and as usual I’m looking forward to doing it more regularly.
I also rode up Windmill for the first time in a very long time. It is a lovely climb, and I’d forgotten the cool little uphill rock step things – neat fun. I had completely forgotten the sharp switchbacks on the last climb to the top – quite a few stoppages.
