Very easy ride on tired legs, all but 10 minutes that is, as I felt compelled to do something worthwhile and so went up South Sugarloaf. Barely made it. I think I need to investigate getting a lower gear. But the time up was OK (9:57). Just that I was about out of gas when the top finally showed up.
And a slight detour to Mike's on the way home to check on the corn. It's growing.

Flat down the east side of the river, then a few small hills on the west side coming back.
Wind sure changed, modestly out of the south (when I was heading south), then changing over to out of the west, and then when I reached Whately (and still had a ways further north to go) strong and gusty from the NW. Not the best planning, though a couple of miles towards the end were very nice.

Outer loop at North Sugarloaf, hiked up the north side, jogged down the south. Legs not so bad. Nice afternoon, low humidity.

Shutesbury - Lake Wyola. Quite enjoyable. For once I stuck to my plan of taking it easy, especially up to Shutesbury. It's not that going uphill can be easy, but it's a lot nicer to arrive at the top tired rather than dead tired.
So it was a matter of, whenever there was any doubt, just put it in the lower gear.
This looks like an interesting thing to do on Sunday. There is chatter on AP about how the climb is figured and how it sometimes seems off the mark. For this ride, or at least the 62-mile version that I looked at a little more carefully, the link goes to MapMyRide, which gives 65.5 miles and 2,382' climb. Whereas Ride with GPS gives 62.5 and 5,938' climb. That's a fair bit different. A glance at the topo of the route convinces me that the latter number is more in the ballpark.

Mt. Toby, hiked up the jeep road, jogged down the phone line, then not feeling overly enthusiastic so just walked back to the gate. Warm, starting to get some bugs.

Flats south of town, good breeze out of the south. Started feeling very lethargic, but slowly got into it. Was definitely looking forward to the tailwind on the last few miles.

Ride with Phil up to Wendell. Nice day, light breezes, maybe a little warm. And lots of good pavement. :-)
I ride by myself most of the time, very used to setting my own pace, so riding with someone else always adds a certain stress. My legs seem to still be feeling tired, so there were a few, or more than a few, times when the pace up a hill was definitely out of my comfort zone. Whereas Phil seemed to be on cruise control (other than his complaining butt).
Still, enjoyed it a lot, and more than I would have done on my own.

River Road - Old Deerfield. Legs very very tired to start, but seemed at least a little less tired as time went on. Real nice day. Only annoyance was North Main in Deerfield is being repaved, right now they've stripped off the old stuff and it's pretty rough. Will be nice when it's done.
