I have a short, but stocky build. When I first planned to ride in Colorado I thought I was biting off more than I could chew. But I learned that I could do it. Slowly maybe, but I could do it. And with work I could get better at it. I’ll never fly up mountains, but I love doing the work of getting to the top, and enjoying the reward of a good descent.

….the psychology of hill-climbing is very interesting. Just before Christmas I spent a week cycling on Tenerife (which has a huge volcano in the middle). The climb to the top is 45kms (28m) to an elevation of 2,500 metres (8000 feet). It takes you 3-4 hours to get to the top……..but only 40-50 mins to descend. I mean, where is the justice in that?

Ah, here in the UK the fierce winter weather has departed and we are blessed with the announcements of spring. Today was a 76 mile ride to meet up with fellow mid-week roadies, and sunglasses needed most of the day. Long may it last……………..

I hear you on the agonizing and scrutinizing part.

Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve had errands the first three days of this week and am now back on the Steed. Feels good.

I wasn’t going to pull the trigger on my new bike until mid March but with a mild winter and this week’s warm up I’m ready to go get it now. It won’t be long (so we think) .

I think you are supposed to blink if you see something come at you, It is a similiar technique to one I used on a ride I took w\ Tracy in the dark before I got a pair of clear glasses. ; ) My eyes were really watering.

Interesting. I did the opposite with my water bottle. I did it because it is easier to lock with the holder on the down tube. I find it easier to drink by pulling it from the seat tube whether stopped or riding.
