High Rock Road

I finally dragged myself out to High Rock Road. I picked a fine day at that - temperatures in the low 30's, wet with snow/slush on the last mile of the hill. I thought that I had packed away the AmFib tights, but nooo.
I was not motivated. I stayed up till 1:30AM and got a late start in hopes of the weather improving.

Essentially the climb is a little over 4 miles with a little more than 1000 ft elevation gain. The grade fluctuates all over, but never goes beyond 11% (5-7 avg). Narrow road, rough but manageable. Little to no traffic. It would not be a good place to take a larger group.

Goal for today: 60 min hills.
Feeling lethargic and unmotivated. I could not find the climbing legs today, so I just spun along at AT. Very lonely - I wish that Roberts was here to taunt me, he loves this place! So this is me going through the motions, just knocking out two hill repeats. I thought that if I could just hold 10 mph I'd be fine. My rain bike does have a cadence sensor that I managed to re-acquire by the second lap. My average cadence is a little low 79rpm for the climb gearing 39x23.
Equipment: Rain bike = Surly Pacer, full fenders, Campy Centaur gruppo(2005), Campy Vento wheelset, Vittoria Diamante Rain tires with Mr Tuffie strips. Heavy freakin bike.
