These first three pictures are hills I climbing in the first few miles.
This is a very busy rotary because of the casino.
More road damage from the flood. This is on River road.
This group of girls went by me a couple of times on the ride.
Entering Mystic.
I got held up here for ten minutes while the bridge was up.I wasn't looking forward to doing this ride,knowing how much climbing was going to be involved and all the busy, high speed roads. But I need miles and I had perfect weather. When I have to start climbing within the first couple of miles I know, I'll be in agony for a while.I was surprised that I did so well on the first three climbs and that continued until I was surprised by a bad hill just after the aquarium in Mystic on RT234. I made it up but was done for a while until my legs came back.This ride needs some tweaking to get off the busy roads heading towards Foxwoods and it would be a much better ride.Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I didn't turn the timer back on, on my GPS when I finished my break in Mystic. That's why the ride is messed up in Garmin Connect.
