I thought that today might be feel like I&#8217;d taking a slide backward. <\/p>\n<p>But it felt a lot better than I thought it might.  My legs were fairly strong. On the particular route I took today, one third was familiar and the rest was new. It didn&#8217;t include the most daunting hills around, but I was moving up rollers and slight hills with ease.
