Hill climbing part 2

Went for a 23.75 mile ride today, sunny near 60F. I was moving along at a 21.5 mph average speed from Woodinville to Redmond, but I was slowing down for lots of trail traffic. I was above 22mph for long stretches. Then I climbed the microsoft hill again.This time it was alot more comfortable. My pace was still slow, but it hurt less and I was not winded and burnt at the top.
On the way back to Woodinville, a racing cyclist passed me, so I gave chase, caught him and rode ahead again. He attacked and put about 300 yards on me which I slowly reeled in to about 70 yards before I turned off at UW Bothell. Rode the hill there and came home.

I added a few carbs to my water to help put the zip back in my workout.
