Gimpl Hill (to Discount Tire)

Exercise Type: Bike

Weather: 95, HOT

Comments:
HOT afternoon ride.

Ate brunch and did some reading, then at 4:30 left for a bike ride, ending at Discount Tire to pick up the van.

It was prett damn hot. Learning from my Yachats ride a month ago, I actually pre-wet my (black shoed) feet beforehand, so they wouldn't bake. And I brought 16oz water.

Rode pretty hard - the usual early splits. Heat wasn't bad 'til 20min in, when I hit the shade-less Spencer Creek Road. Then it got hot!

Doused through my helmet a couple times, which helped. But the Gimpl climb was tough and into the wind!

After that, just one little shitburger back into town and to Discount Tire, which is in West Eugene. Added on a few minutes to hit 60.

Good ride.

PM:
* drove home, BAKING, in the van, picked up CA, and we drove to Springfield to jump into the Willamette. Still a really strong current there, so we stayed out of the main flow.

* Beers (I accidentally got a weird, fairly gross but "quality" lavender-flavored beer!) at Public House

* Ankle was frustratingly stiff in the evening. Worked the sacrotuberous ligament and L hip capsule a lot, but didn't work the lateral ankle til right before bed. It was sore.
