A construction detour from the normal route to work threw in a huge, very steep hill. First time I used my granny gears on my triple in months. I thought I was going to die before I made it to the top. Funny thing was that the usual hill at the end of the ride that always seems enourmous and steep, seemed quite a bit flatter and lower after the first hill. Must have been 'cause my legs were ready to go again.
