Fells and Hills

dmazeThis weekend I was hoping to bike "about 30 miles, with some hills". I set off towards the Fells while trying to avoid 93 with some success, and found this odd little neighborhood on top of a hill in northeastern Medford. (It has a park, and a church, and a firehouse, and...) I rode through the Fells on the obvious road route, took Montvale Ave. across to Woburn Center, and from there followed the Insane Hill Route up Turkey and Arlmont Hills. This came in, says my bike, at 23.52 miles. Route map
I clearly Wasn't Making It up Arlmont Hill, but I also didn't feel like I was pushing hard enough or something. I was definitely slower on the Concord Ave. back to Camberville segment, but I also didn't feel like I pushed and pushed and couldn't do it, more like I ran out of steam partway up, repeatedly. This clearly means something, probably that I need to get my endurance up and push myself more even on the relatively flat bits.
