Got up early went to my usual climb.
A bit on the brisk side.
Back down into the 40s for a couple of days.
Made what felt like a concerted effort to get close to my time from back a couple of years ago.
10 minutes back from it was as close as I could get.
I have done that climb hundreds of times now.
Strava ain't going to show me my segment history of it now though.
They made that into a subscription feature couple days ago.
Ack. 50 bucks a year to see my leaderboard compilation.
I might do it.
Trail runner girls were there parked where I park.
So they were up the road ahead of me somewhere.
That somehow motivates me to a stronger effort.
See if I can catch them before they get to the top and turn around.
Nope.
I seen them when they were on the way back down.
My time looked good at that point so I said a brief hi and pressed on to the top.
They said yeah, ok, we'll see you when you come back down.
I descended at a pretty good clip but didn't intercept them till about half mile from the cars.
One of them is a hospital worker so pretty conscientious about social distance.
So we are walking and yakking spread out across the width of the road.
Talking about the summer's races that are cancelled.
Iron Horse Bicycle Classic tomorrow is cancelled.
I used to always like cranking in that.
We talked about weird new social phenomena.
I mentioned having gone to the liquor store the other day wearing my mask.
The guys that worked there were wearing guns.
Weird.
I ain't been to the bank yet.
