Okay, so 221 may be an exaggeration but it seemed like it. The ride today in Stillwater was exceptional and grueling. 50 miles from the Depot to Afton and a few extra hills in Afton. Four of us let out and Neil was in true retro form - toeclips. It sure is nice to make sure you bring the right shoes. Riding in the NW Metro is great - not many hills and certainly not a bunch of killers in a row. This was a taste of yesteryear for me as growing up in LaCrosse was just like we had this morning. The ride had a quick tempo and the weather was cool - good combo in my opinion. If you get a chance, take a ride to the Stillwater area and ride the hills - your ability will soar and your legs will too. As a side note, every yellow, orange and well - it seemed like every sign was a sprint - thus the random number of 221 for the primes. The Stillwater Interval Vertical Challenge - seems like a fitting name. Thanks Neil for being the tour guide - we should do this again - I will remember to bring an extra set of SPD's for you!
