one question: where did you find hills in chandler?
Oh there are plenty. I ride in Awhatukee (spelling??) and there are a lot of streets that go uphill. It is called the "Foothills" area or something like that. Some of them are erally easy, and some of them are nasty.

Usually I do not have problems with men or women who are polite and greet you. But it is usually guys whose faces turn green if I pass them. Others who are cool with that just smile or even try to stay. Rarely I have issues with women. Some time ago I passed a couple, I guess a husband and a wife. I did not notice that he was trying to catch me but at the same time was hoping that his wife would be able to stick around. There is a usual stop where all riders go. He caught me there when I was racking my bike, gave me a few compliments about being fast. And then his wife showed up very upset. She barked something at him and gave me a nasty look as if did something wrong. I just thought to myself that some people are just lacking self confidence. And I am sure that her husband would be proud of her if she supported him or put an effort. Oh well.
