Very humid day at Stone Mountain Park. Did 6 laps of my 5 mile loop at a brisk pace with 2200 feet of climbing. I was pooped at the end and my legs were crying for mercy. I did the first three laps in 58 minutes, which is near a personal best for me, and complete the entire 6 laps in 1:58, also, for me, a good time.
Half way through the ride I met a couple of other guys who ride recumbents, and we shared stories and became acquainted.
I love the 'hill repeat' type of training at Stone Mountain. If I push hard, it is an intense workout. The intensity is good, since I have cut down the number of bike workouts per week to about three per week. The combo of 3 weekly gym workouts with 3 sessions on the bike is thus far working out well.
