Mountain Bike 1:19:16 [3] 15.2 mi (11.5 mph)
I did NOT feel like doing this workout today. at 3:30, it was hailing/raining in Midland and I knew by the time I got to West Branch it was going to be dark and 38 degrees with a 30 percent chance of rain.
Decided to leave the rain jacket and just wear my xc ski jacket since I could see the stars at the start of the ride. That's a pretty good sign that rain is not immediately imminent. Rode out to the Fairview hill, but this time started the intervals at the base of the preceding hill to try to make them longer. Total time from the base to the top is about 7-8 minutes with maybe 40 seconds of flat/downhill in the middle (depends on where I decide the start and finish are.) So, while it's not really the best, it's my only option to climb a little longer. Did 4 climbs and rode back. It wasn't as bad as I was dreading, but I did get cold on some of the descents and the ride back.
Just before climb 3, there was a truck parked next to the road where I was riding. It creeped me out a bit. I need to really start pushing to try to get someone to come ride these with me now that it's dark.
