Starfish, which route are you doing? I'm thinking of it at some point but this year may be too crowded with other commitments.
You sound strong and focused. I'm sure there were times when you could barely keep your wits together, but I sure understand the training/recovery issues in stressful times. Just focusing on getting the bike down the trail for 50 ft can be a challenge.

SK, thanks for the boost! I am not particularly strong, but I love to ride my bike! Unfortunately, I forgot that from last June through January, so I am starting pretty weak this year. Unfortunately, I also gained some stress weight.

But, my goal is to climb more than ever in one day in an organized ride, to learn a lot about myself, and to enjoy the sunshine and beauty. And, with the right training and luck, I am going to try as hard as I can to do the whole 10,000 foot option.

Umm..k..My goals are to do the hill ride (road) to Kalamunda twice this month. It's basically the hilliest area of Perth..
MTB goals-Be able to get up about 500m of the hill of hurt
, then the hill at the goat farm & perhaps conquer the horrible hill between the Mundaring weir hotel-the dell
I know this will make very little sense to anyone outside of Perth..
