This was an intensity week. Goal was to ride hard, and keep the HR at tempo the majority of time, and occasionally jamming it on hills and flats. Started off Sunday with a brisk ride up to Redding. Then rode over to Tarrytown and back on Wed/Thu (7/20-21), going faster on Wed. It was just too hot the next morning. Kept up the pace but did not go all out.
Saturday 7/23 got some hills in around Tarrytown. Tempo pace. Blazing heat near end of ride. A lot of the riding was mercifully in the shade. The next day was a big ride up north. Wandered around a bit up to Mt. Kisco. Found some dirt roads, wound up on Rt. 22. Rode up along the Titicus resevoir route. My plan was to loop back through Ridgefield, but wound up getting a little lost. Found my way back to Rt. 35 eventually then cut back along some of the WNR route through Pound Ridge. The last hour of this epic five hours was spent getting sprinkled then dumped on by some cool rain. Felt good! Pretty shot from the ride, spent more than half the ride at tempo.
