LOL! I am not proficient on hills. I really, really mean it (not self-deprecating...just true) that I go really, really slow. That 80 mile ride took me 10 hours.

I have super granny gears. A triple with 30 on the small CR up front, and a 32 on the back.

I'm getting stronger, and this winter a big goal is to get some of this weight back off and get even stronger in the gym. I dream of getting a Ruby with a compact double someday.

PS: Teigyr, the loop with the Elwha and Lake Crescent is a great ride...about 40 miles with only about 2000 feet of climbing.
