 Standard Millport
Took a few days off to let my saddle sore heal. Today's ride was an exploratory event focusing on my backside. Went the traditional route up Johnson Hollow with the long grade to Millport then the short climb up Johnson Hollow. Found out that my backside was still tender with an unpleasant hot spot that eventually became comfortably numb. Headed up the slot into the wind which wasn't too bad and got to the foot of Johnson Hollow with around a fourteen average. Didn't do nearly as well as I had hoped on the first two mile steeper section of the climb losing a good bit of time. Ride through the rest of the hollow was also lackluster but was fast enough with the tailwind to Watkins along with the Fast downhill to get the average above fifteen at the foot of the hill in Watkins. Bled some time off crossing the swamp in the headwind. Was a bit disappointed that the days off wasn't enough time for to heal but felt good to be back on the bike with minimal pain at least.
