I've decided to report here rather than the daily check-in thread. I've been pretty dedicated to cycling over the last two or three weeks. The loop I ride is a descent and climb which initially took me an hour and fifteen minutes. Today I timed myself and I was only on the road for an hour. I am progressing! It makes me feel good. It was an especially good ride today since I caught a truck on the descent and so was slowed by him over the remainder of the descent. So I really made some time up on the climb.
