I've been doing short 4 mile commutes everyday day so I don't get to post those. Today I had to do some miscellaneous shopping and I ended up putting about 14 miles so here's my post.

Decided to take a different route so went up on Flying W Ranch... boy that's a long hill coming from 30th St. I'm still not used to Colorad altitude and while I didn't feel like dying it sure felt like a very long hill! Going down it was a nice and fast 36.5 mph.

Kinda windy here in Colorado Springs; I'm still not used to it. My panniers act like a huge parachute and it's hard to go fast; I just focus on getting a good ride and getting there. Other riders are out in shorts (pants and sleeves) while I'm still wearing my windbreaker.
