At any rate, it is nice to be on the mend and posting for training Tuesday. The bike ride was interesting to me. I took off from my house and again jumped on the West Side Duathlon route for a 9.3 mile loop. I actually set the clock at my Quaker Road start finish point and turned in a 46 minute time. This was about what I expected and I would like to use the route as my new test piece. As opposed to Leyden road or SH 72 between Indian and SH 93, the loop has more rolling hills as opposed to an up and down feel. The toughest climb is on the section of SH 93 which gains 200 feet in about 0.6 miles for an average grade of 6.3%. There are some rollers on Quaker Road/72nd/Virgil Way and a long descent on Leyden Road. Reference the middle 9 miles in the image.

Unfortunately the weather is going back to hell. As a result the next few days will be more treadmill and pool time.
