Saturday ride and GIna, CLIMBING?
 

Did 44 miles with a couple of SoCal members. GrrlyRida and fellow CLyde TomBunn. The ride including part of GMR, an 8 mile 2200 ft climb. Gina struggled but she made it. She actually volunteered to do the ride!:p

TB and Gina coming up!

A little tricky taking pics on 25-30 mph switchback descents but I managed!:D

wow, looks nice. Can't wait to be fit enough to join a ride like that!

Eric...

Looks like great fun if you can do it. I went on a ride last week where the little hills just about killed me, and today it was the wind! Maybe if I lived somewhere like that, I'd be more used to it.

youre very very very lucky to have terrain like that, near you. the midwest is kinda flat in a lot of places and it takes some thought to find much elevation.

nice pics... living in FL now, it's amazing how you come to miss terrain... though after one climb, I probably wouldn't miss it anymore.

Don't you Californians ever have any traffic on the roads???
