Starting to work on hills seriously - need beginner advice!

Hey karen, I too am from Boise and new to this board. I will be tackling the Bogus Basin ride this summer also. We should hook up and try it together. That was my thought exactly, ride to top and have someone bring me back down.

Cool Shawnada! I've told DH that we will likely need camping equipment when I do Bogus -- it's going to take me a LONG time to climb that hill! I'm new, carry way too much me up the hills, and it's a slow process -- but I also tend to be a stubborn old gal...

There's actually a "ride" up that hill in summer -- maybe in september? -- and I think there were prizes and such. We started riding last summer, and being just at the "any way I can climb it" stage NOW, we didn't go last year (probly not this year either) cuz there was a time limit. Right now, I'd consider the time limit to be about a week...

Karen in Boise, who makes slugs look fast on the hills!
