SouthernBelle, I'll definitely give you a shout when we're out your way. I'll contact you later by PM as the ride nears and exchange some info! That's so exciting that you live out that way.
Ugh. I can't get Routeslip to work for me but would love to see the elevation profile for the ride. Is there any other way to access that information?
I'd love to get my hands on it because I'm having a hard time describing it to the flatlanders here in Indy. When they think hills, they think the Hilly Hundred. To me, this was A LOT harder than the Hilly because the elevation changes NEVER STOPPED. The mental focus it took just to pick the right gear was exhausting. We just don't have anything to compare it to here. When I decribed the hills as rollers, people picture something rather gentle but I wouldn't describe Saturday's century as gentle.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
