After Mrs RSbob’s fall, I have been driving her ID4 (7+ weeks) while watching gas prices rise. It is a very fun car with excellent cornering and blistering acceleration plus all the creature comforts. Re-sale value is in the toilet, but that’s ok since we drive our cars for a decade or more. Now that she is able to drive, I am back to premium fueled my 23 MPG SUV, but still steal her car whenever possible.

Today’s cycling content: hill climb day. Looking to do 3,000’ the easy and hard way (some gradual and some not so much). Now that’s it in print, I am (or should be) committed.
Did the dirty deed and got all the climbing done. Took it easy and didn’t push or chase PRs, just wanted to get it done.Temps were in the high 50s with off and on drizzle, which made the descents exciting. The one inadvertent PR was on a 1.5 mile downhill at 37 MPH - which was a blast. Finished feeling good and not my usual spent, trashed and thrashed self.
