First time on Hughes Mountain near Ironton. Took trail in and then explored its many more glades & views with SC Suzanne. USGS contour map from Cons Dept website was all I needed.
Instead of 40, rain, and windy, it was 50, sunny, with light wind on top
If I can walk the neighborhood hills, I can ride them! [never thought of that before!]
5-hill route -- 5th, Fairview, pushed my limit. Nice for days when I need to squeeze a (tough) set at end of day. Didn't hit all of the toughest -- a goal.
Neighborhood 4 hill walk - Robert street as 'valley'. Ran into Civil Life brewery - closed Monday's! So stopped at Lulu's for veg taco and Civil Life brew.
