What goes down must come up!


I need to remember that little rule when riding out here. Yesterday I found the best road to ride down....super steep, with some really fun turns. I had to go into my granniest of granny gears to get back up though.

It took the last 1 percent of pride that I have left to keep me from getting off of my bike and walking! I must have looked pretty pathetic because a few walkers actually stopped to cheer me on. Maybe it was because I was zig-zagging back and forth....who knows.

Overall I got 4.5 hours of riding in with some of the most beautiful views that I've ever seen. It's easy to see why so many people move out here. I'm really lucky in my timing to. I know that it can be cold and rainy out here in the winter, but so far all that I've seen is sun and mid-50's to 60's temperatures.

Today I'm going to try to get another long ride in. I'm a little afraid to see what my legs are going to feel like after yesterday.
