Afternoon ride NEH to Cadillac & Park Loop Road

Cant believe summer is almost over and I havent been on my bike since last year and a bike since Hawaii.   Sam & I went out for an afternoon ride and he is going to think I was sandbagging him as I was worried about doing Cadillac and Park Loop road since I had a pretty good workout this morning.   The ride over to the Park entrance wasnt as horrible as it can be and the ride up the entrance road wasnt the usual sufferfest.   So either we were going slow or all the rowing and intervals have helped.  Decided we could do Cadillac and it felt the best its felt in years.  I feel bad as I was hammering on the climbs and that is not what Sam probably expected.
