Hill Repeats

I was looking forward to a relaxing ride tonight, but seven miles out I discovered someone decided to lay down a layer of gravel on 1804 South. Those rat bastards! So, my original plan of an EZ 20 on nice rolling hills, quickly turned into a suffer fest of junk miles mixed in with three MARY HILL REPEATS. At 3/4 of a mile with a gradient anywhere from 5% to 8%, the Mary Hill puts a serious burn to the legs and makes the heart feel like it's going to explode...if you hammer it.

I'm actually happy my ride turned out the way it did though -- I believe rides like these make me a better rider. Good thing I enjoy climbing!  

Oh, the photo below is my latest gadget. Cool, huh? You can see what it does here.
