Yama-nobori, take two--Saturday July 8 (backpost)

Saturday stretch time! Made a late start (7:45) with Bôya in tow on his bike. Headed off for Citizen's Forest, with him, but when we arrived he was ready for home. He biked off (after we'd looked at a shrine and taken a hilltop view), and I headed into the mountains: got the route right this time, though the going was still very slow. Made it up and over the edge of that particular mountain, using a yamanobori trail with several stepped sections, and back via the park and home the way I'd come.

Time: 1:43:35
Speed: 6.4
Distance: 11.02

Comment: good stretch, but no chance for pace. It was a good change to do serious climbing, even if it was a bit all-on/all-off. Oh for undulating hills -- there are some in the area, but they take time to get to. Train on what you can find, I suppose.
n.b. Later in the day we biked as far as the sea along the Shinkawa and then had to walk about 5K of the return trip when the bôya got a flat. All good x-training.
