Holy Crap, Now THAT'S a Hill!

Went out for a pounding ride today with Mark and Therese, up to the Springwater Hills. We did 5 "big" hills, all 1-3 miles long, with serious grades...as in granny gear, big cog, standing up, praying to allah for a miracle kinda big hills.

Mark broke his bike on the 4th one, and took the valley road home, while Therese and I slugged it up the last "new to me" hill....which turned out to be a really bad idea, as it was 8 MILES long, dirt and stone, dogs-a-chasin', exposed to the sun, and VERTICAL in spots. Totally destroyed me.

But, it still beat even a good day at work!
