Okay, got up with DH this morning before he left for work. It's almost 6 and I really, really want to go back to bed. Instead I got on the TE forum and read a few things and then got my butt in gear and out the door.
Went 10.8 miles today. Little further than last time. I am able to take most of the hills now without going completely into granny gear too. There are still a couple that are short but fairly steep, (for me anyway) that I have to drop down to granny gear in, but the rest I am able to stay in the big ring for, which makes me feel so much better. Dont' feel like I am fighting to make it the whole ride.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
