Slowest Bike Workout Of My Life
Thursday, July 15th, 2010
… but this was the view from the top.
I made it to the top of the Ap Gap!
9.42 miles to the top in 55:15. Yeah, that is 10.1 miles per hour…
Total elevation gain: 1,775.
My quads are screaming (as was my mouth as I was climbing the last mile, which was also the steepest part).
Thankfully, the descent was a helluva lot easier. Plus, I found this little mountain stream off the side of the road. Perfect for a little cool down soak.

J – looks like great minds think alike. Love it! Way to go to the top. Hooray for cool mountain stream to cool off in!
That is so awesome! I will be doing one of those Slow Rides next week when I go to the Rockies. An epic ride is in the works and it is going to involve a whole lotta hurt.
Beautiful. I need to do some climbing like that. Oh, and Ohio is pretty much flat, so you don’t really need all that climbing…!
