Not really Lunchtime Loop 3, but same roads kind of. Came down on Balcones Woods under 183 as usual, then just went straight down Floral Park, turned left on Rain Creek, down that hill, turned around and rode back up it, then back down, then back up, then out the way we came on Floral Park. I made myself come to a near-complete stop at the bottom of the hills and did not standing today; I realized I need to work on higher-cadence pedaling, so I spun up all the hills and stayed a gear or two lower overall than I usually do. Definitely a different kind of work. My legs work really unevenly -- right thigh and left hamstring start to feel the burn long before the opposite pair. Gotta work on that.

Still, as average speeds go, 14.5mph for mostly getting out, stopping at the bottoms of hills, and spinning up them, ass firmly in the saddle, I am pretty happy with that.
