Hill Repeats repeated

Thursday night, time once again to lead the Rocky Butte hill repeats ride for my social bike group.

And once again it proved to be just a tad too far to get there on time given the late afternoon traffic.

I arrived 6 minutes after pedals spinning time. I hurriedly unloaded my bike and started up the hill. The evening was uneventful. The weather was nice, the hill was there, we pedaled up it multiple times and rolled back down.

I had my helmet cam with me tonight, but misinterpreted the beeps, seems I wasn't really recording after all. I'll practice a bit with it and get some video posted here when I can get it all figured out. :-O

After 90 minutes of fun most quit. I was thinking that in a few months I'd be wishing for warm, dry, evenings like this. I turned back up the hill and started riding again. I did a total of 10 repeats before dark, the last two with descents via the slightly longer "back side" route.

A good night for a ride.
