Sky-Mass reverse again!

Best ride in a while but the wind was fascist in our face thing slowing us down a bit. Brian had no need to worry. I had difficuly in dropping him not that I was trying, but all I could get was a couple of minutes on him except the Hogback climb where I got maybe 5 min and the Mass climb where his std road gearing was a disadvantage but allowed him to pass me downhill where my 50T big gear was small. Pace was not what I got last Summer but this is early Feb. After beating leg cramps and riding the 12% grade over Massenutten I got the hammertime bug, but I was the anvil getting hammered 20 miles later. But 5 more miles and an energy bounce and it was hammertime til the end. Love climbing the stairs at home after a slugfest
