5/12/2009 Mansfield, OH (3.0 miles) – Down and up Park Avenue “hill”

Published on June 29, 2012 By Mophe

On the drive home to Columbus, I decided to stop in Mansfield for another hour of riding. I guess people don’t really understand these rides for 2-3 hours are like running a half marathon! I made the classic mistake — I rode all the way “down” a hill and then had to ride back “up”. […]
