I took the '99 Joe gofast (76" and 67") north and a bit east this morning, climbing up to neighboring Rio Rancho's highest point, the top of Broadmore in north RR. About 8 miles of climbing, most of which in the last 7 miles; great fun in the 67" gear.
A beautiful day; sunny, with moderate winds (which followed me around, of course, starting at NNE and ending SW). Started at 50*, reached 60* by the time I returned home. On a light bike, mid 60s is a great climbing gear, though I'm probably getting old enough to moderate the 76" cruising gear. Per Cyclemeter, home is 4,900 or 4950; tip top of Broadmore before it dips down again is ~5,700; and many ups and downs on the way. Strava tells me a total of 875 feet of climbing in the 29.6 miles. Not sure if that is outbound/northward only, or if it includes the 1 mile long climb on the way back. No photos, sorry, I was futzing with new Strava as well as using Cyclemeter. But I must do this more often. I live at bottom dead center in the Rio Grande valley, and most riding is N-S, with no elevation change. -- Resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, and letters that get interviews.
