Faced my fears and took the bike off the trainer and put on the back wheel (this was easy now although years ago tears were involved), charged my lights, found my helmet and headed out for a 90 min ride through Hollis.

I didn’t want to feel like a sausage so just wore my skort vs. riding shorts. Ended up going 15.61 miles, 1:18 hr, elevation 735′, @ 5:03″/mile avg pace. Went Witches Spring to 122 with detour thru neighborhood then back to 122, right onto Merrill lane and then back to town on Depot Rd, Wright Rd across from Lull farm to home.

I was ready to be done! Hot day and ran out of water, butt hurt and I spent 2 hours recovering my torso spasms. Way better than I thought it was going to go on the hills so that was great. No walking and no torture!

Tracked the hill sprint and took 2:29 for 0.63 miles up that hill.

Trust the process and put in the work.
