Beautiful day today, and near-record temps in the low 80s. Headed down to U of A the usual way, but then detoured on the way back up to the considerably hillier and twistier River Rd. Unfortunately, the first few miles were very much under construction, so there was either a very sandy shoulder or no shoulder at all. I don't think the elevation gauge for "my route":http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=8989 does justice to just how much of a roller coaster parts of River are. 27.0 miles 27.2 mph max speed 15.1 mph avg speed 1:47 ride time
