Big hill

I just got back from a ride on the single-speed. Didn’t do that many miles, 12 or 13, but I did do a route with some big hills. There is one roller-coaster segment in particular with a big downhill followed immediately by a giant uphill. I’m pleased to say I did not have to walk the bike up the hill, but I did slow to a near crawl as I approached the top. I’m sure my legs are going to be talking to me later today and particularly tomorrow. I’m trying to stretch them out to minimize the stiffness, but when I’m not riding regularly there’s always a tough day after riding hard for the first time again.
