Tour De Cali or France or Tuna or "Loop"

The weather was beautiful out yesterday so instead of doing some outside work, like mowing and weeding, I decided to go for a road ride. I did about 25-30 miles in the later afternoon. I left my house, went out Burns Ave past US Foods. Then I cut over and went past Small Tube and thru Hollidaysburg to the BCO Mart intersection. I turned there and headed out past the shops and into the Loop. I road the whole way was to Locke Mt and then out past the soccer fields. I decided to go ahead and climb Chimney Rocks. Then I just back-tracked home. I felt really good and much stronger on the rolling hills and on the climb at Chimney Rocks. I think the Mt Biking and Trail running has improved my leg strength quite a bit. I do need more miles on the bike to get my cardio and heart rate where it needs to be. But the strength is better than I had anticipated. Still not enough to keep up to the J-man but I'll keep working on it. Overall it was a great ride and I am hoping to get out again today and tomorrow. Road riding makes me feel like I am a true cyclist. Even though I just mess around here and there, it makes me feel like a pro.
