Forgot heart rate strap. Forgot to put it on---it was in the car. Ugh.
From the Monroe Outlet Malls to Franklin, Ohio along Union Rd. This is part of one of my "ride to work" routes. With this out-and-back, I think I did in about 21 miles all the climb for the entire 48 mile route. So---I still need to do a good, long ride of about 50 miles. I would probably risk it at this point. The remaining "on road" part of the route I want to do with as little traffic as possible. If I stop once or twice for a quick bite, I really think I can endure the 50 miles. Need gloves, though. I've been going without, and I get some numbness.
Again, I did okay with the climbs. Before the last part of the last big one, I stopped for a few minutes to eat a few Gu Chomps and drink about half a liter of water. The rest helped for sure. Again, as last week, my legs never shut down, so---good. I even added a little hill at the end along the "restaurant row" south of 63. I was good and tired, though.
It was a bit more trafficky than I like, but it wasn't bad.
Also went south at the start to the bridge construction on Butler-Warren Rd. It is passable if it hasn't rained much, but I will have to divert---too much hassle to cross with a bike. Almost certainly a muddy, wet-foot crossing.

This is the exact parking space I used. (New GPS glitches---let's hope the ride track survived.)
