I don't get why you guys don't see the pictures. I see them on my browser. Well, anyways, I re-posted them. Do you see them now?

Fredwina ... yes, I plan to do the Lytle Creek gas station several times (and maybe further) before I tackle today's ride again. I've done it once on my own and it wasn't as horrible as I anticipated.

I have a standard crank set. DH used to have my very crank set, but upgraded with his new bike to compact for climbing purposes. I told him, "I'm the one who needs the easier to climb bike cause I need all the help I can get!" I have a feeling it will get upgraded eventually. For now, I'll just get really strong! I hope!

Hey Fredwina, I'll let you know when I ever get around to doing a group ride. I must meet you eventually! You do the Saturday rides, right? I won't be able to do any until August, which is just as well since I'd like to get stronger before attempting a group ride.
