A training ride...

So, I went for a 'short' training ride today. But, got massively lost. So, I ended up riding 24 miles instead of my proposed 10.

However, it was beautiful. For Yalies, I just took Whitney out for 10 miles to Quinnipiac University and Sleeping Giant Park. There I found some pretty sweet hills to train on.

Basically, take Mt. Carmel Ave to the east. The only scary thing is that the road is pretty thin and winding, and there were a lot of cars. otherwise, it was fabulous.

The only recommendations I give:

When biking, take water, perhaps a powerbar, a cell phone (for when you get lost) and a little bit of money for a bus back.

Also, tell someone where you are going, dress for the weather, and perhaps take a friend with you.



But although I got lost, I now feel rather buff and accomplished.
