Training -> Eating

Great ride yesterday with Jeff and Greg. Did the Lehigh Valley tour of what's what of climbing with 5 stiff climbs, including Bougher Hill and Haupts Bridge. Each one has its own method for destroying legs.



Bougher Hill starts off steeply, and then just doesn't let up.



Then what I think might be the hardest climb I know of, Haupts Bridge Rd. It starts off steeply, and then towards the top you get this steep kick and then a deceptive leveling off, where you think it should be easier, but it isn't. It is just only 5%. By the end, I don't think I could have pedaled downhill.

After 50 miles or so, I was really looking forward to the burrito I knew was waiting for me at home.
