Goal Acccomplished!!!!!!

I did my first group ride, yesterday. I did well, except for one hill. It was short, only .3 mi, but it was steep (between 7%-10%), and we started from a standing stop. I got about half-way up, but had to slow down for another rider, and the loss of momentum caused me to have to stop, and walk the rest of the way up the hill. I definitely need to work on my climbing skills.

My wife is going further on her rides, because we're riding to a local greenway, which is much flatter than the road around our apartment complex. There is a nice little hill to climb on the way back, though.

We don't "walk". We 'cross-train'
Congrats on a goal accomplished
