Munn Road (gently!) Wednesday morning
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:34 am
OK, previous invites to do Munn Road have elicited responses only from HILLBEASTS. It's a great way to stay humble, but some company would be nice too, so let me be velocity-specific as to the meaning of gentle: avg. 10-12 kmh on the longer climbs, and probably 8 kmh on the last kick to the little red pickup truck.
I like to do Munn because:
a) it's beautiful,
b) I suck on hills, and I'd like to not suck someday (which raises the physiological question as to whether increasing fitness can offset ongoing age-related decline), and
c) you get to go down too, which is a great way to realize that cycling requires skill in addition to fitness.
So if you're interested in a gentle climb through the Highlands, see you either at Fairfield and Moss at 6, or the switch bridge at 6:15.
