winterbadgerA nice brisk bike ride to start out the day. Only 30 minutes, and lots of coating, but lots of hill to get all the coasting. I chickened out and didn't do the last leg (the third side road). I need to work up to that--it goes as high as the Big Hill after all, only in two stages.
It's funny how when you're driving or even walking you don't notice gentle rises so much (at least I don't), but when I'm pedaling, all of a sudden I notice that, say, over the next 25-30 yards the road goes up as far as my head from my feet.
I don't have mmy new computer installed (wow! I've got two computers and Rupert has one of his own! :-) so I didn't check my distance or speed, but maybe tomorrow.
Heh, I should have gotten a picture. I went out in the living room just now and Phineas was sitting comfortably on the bicycle seat. :-)
