October 9, 2009 - Road Bike - The Hill Climbing Experience

I headed out in the 1 degree celsius sunshine. I realized that I was a mileage-aholic and needed to adjust my mindset to the fact that it is not the mileage that counts, but how many hills you can climb in one ride. I now consider myself a hill-aholic, purposely setting out to find and ride every hill I could. The camera just does not do justice to my sloggishly slow day, but my odometer proudly displays my pain.

My toes are slowly thawing out. The hot tea is stopping my shivering. It was not too bad climbing, but the cold really hits you when you were going down.
