hill hill repeats repeats

I was joined by 8 other riders from my social bike club for an hour and a half of hill repeats tonight. We choose Rocky Butte for our self imposed torture. ;-)
It was a perfect evening for such an endeavor, not too hot, not too cold, and dry roads!
(5 in the photo, 1 taking the photo, and two late for the photo but in time for the hill!)

Even coming off a couple of weeks of sub par health I did well tonight.
I had a 136 bpm average heart rate, and was able to hold 155 bpm for the climbing. I had a 166 max heart rate.

I had a 1 mile commute to the ride (and of course a 1 mile commute back) for a total of 20 miles with a very respectable 3800 ft of climbing.

We plan on doing this every Tuesday and Thursday evening for the foreseeable future so come join us if you are looking for a good evening workout.
