abracapocus .. People or friends that don't ride will never know how much what looks like a small hill in a car can play hell with you when your on a bike ... Same with the wind.. Cool pics BTW..

Got out for a ride today..... Sooooo close to giving up and turning around several times while riding into the wind on the "out" leg of my ride. But I stuck with it and did my usual ride +3 miles.... Ended up riding 23.10 miles...

Only took 1 pic today.... was climbing up the hill out of 9 mile swamp (hey thats what the call it)... As you can see the sun was directly in my face while going up the hill. So in the middle of the hill I decide to take a picture... NOT really a great idea but hey... never said I was smart LOL .. By the time I snapped the pic I was almost stopped in the middle of going up the hill... Took the pic & stood up... Normally that hill kind of kicks my butt at the end of my rides... But I felt great at the top today!!

GREAT RIDE!!
