Hodges to Lusardi goodness

Rode one of the sections for the archipelago that I was kind of worried about today and enjoyed it in a kind of masochistic way.  It was 28 miles and 2928 ft of climbing.  It was a fun ride and I don't really feel as bad as I would of doing a ride like that a year ago or even 6 months ago.  Anyway it's just an update.
