Rings? At 144,000 ft in a year? When you can do that a 3 months? Uh huh . . .

Interesting stats thanks to bikejournal --

Jan 2005 -- 956 ft
Feb 2005 and the beginning my participation in the TE Girls' Hill Training Program and the first time up Diablo -- 9,120 ft.

Almost a ten-fold increase. Now that's a good training plan. I survived, had an epiphany and look where I am today. No, maybe better best not to look. I have to lose all those peppermint mochas I've been collecting.
