victory is mine!

The Knowehead Road is mine! Having heard scarey biking stories of it's steepness I thought tonight was as good as any to tackle it head on. First day back at work after the Easter Break seemed a good enough excuse to get out of the house for a short run up the Knowehead Road and back in home.

Yes, it was tight going, but I made it to the top of the hill without getting off, or going backwards! Always a bonus going forwards. The effort is richly rewarded with a stunning view of the Braid Valley and Slemish. And I even made a furry friend (or is that woolly?). Enjoy the pic.

Even with the tough incline I made 11.93 km in 35.12 minutes. Avg speed 20.3 kph.
