OK, she's not fast but in the last 7 weeks, Gina has been up GMR 7 times totaling 143 miles and 16,800 ft of climbing.:thumb:

She's not riding Saturday (baby shower :twitchy:) so Sunday we'll ride the flats. Give her legs a week off from climbing then the following week, she's shooting for the village!:thumb:

Yeah Baby!:D

Look Ma! One hand!:p

Good for Gina and Beanz!

I've been off riding doubles and haven't been up to GMR for a long time . . . I need a GMR/GRR fix! Off to climb Onyx again this weekend, but I hope to see you and Gina next time I'm on GMR!

No problem with the knees. We do a hill ride and a flat ride so that gives her a chance to ease up on the knees.;) I've read that one should not clmb more than twice a week in order to avoid injuries. She only climbs once a week. Plus , we started easy, 8 mile rides up GMR, then increasing mileage slowly.:thumb:
