What happened to spring? It was already 20C when I started my ride at 0745. I guess we jumped straight to summer. Anyways, morning ride over Otarumi, then around the south side of Sagamiko and through the hills to Uenohara, then back to Takao via some back roads and Route 20. Now that I have a few months of base riding in my legs, I decided to start picking up the pace a little bit on my normal rides, starting today. I felt pretty good, and didn't have any trouble keeping the speed up. It's only a little faster, but I want to get my legs used to riding faster even on my normal rides.
