yeah, the shower is going to be a problem, but I figure. Bathroom + water + stall = hobo wash up....

It will be a commute to college, as I am student and commute.

I have ridden it before, but that was back when I was a sack of fat. I'm going to be trying it again soon and recording how I do.

I just purchased a Surly Long haul trucker for touring, and I took it out for a hilly 30 miler, and it felt great! granny gears are nice. I got a pannier that works as a bag when you take it off the bike. I will shove my notebooks and clothing in there.

And depending on how hellish it is, I may just ride 3 times a week. Guess I'm just going to have to get out there and give it a go.


Just did a elevation graph with veloroutes and holy moly... no wonder if felt so hilly. It's Exactly 2699 feet of elevation, 22.6 miles long and has a maximum grade of 30% at one point... OH gawd, why do I have to go through this damn mountain range!
