    Hee Hee - I think my ride down at Davis with you and BikerHen had the smallest amount of altitude gain that I have seen on my computer - so small I didnt even put it in my journal......now that is flat.

    Now wind you sure get plenty of that down at Davis.

    Nooooooo! I don't want to hear that! And you just threw it out as extraneous. Can I have it?

    Every precious ft counts for me.

    OMG Trek - you have a huge amount of climbing for the month so far! Especially for January! I am really impressed!!!


    And yes, SK, since the Bike J does the math I can regurgitate it pretty articulately.

    Edit: Tee hee. SK will be climbing rings around us by the end of the year...

    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.

    That little pun just dawned on me but I was on the phone with a co-worker. Didn't seem the best time to say "Wait a minute. I just figured out MP's little joke. I have to post."

    So I'm a little slow today and everyday.

    LOL - but my hill riding still sucks so I guess I need to do more.
