Today was a milestone for me!!!

Look down... do I have a flat??? Nope. Maybe it's that time of month? Nope. Maybe I suddenly contracted lyme disease? Nope. Is this road going ever so slightly upwards??? Ah yes!!!

LOL!! I soooo know that feeling! Some kind of evil headwind I somehow can't feel?

Oh and have you ever done this? I have stem end shifters. The other day at mile fifteen I was going up a ghost hill, and I looked at the right shifter and it was all the way up, meaning, I was on the easiest of gears.

I forgot to look at the left though. I was on the biggest ring!

There I was slugging away, thinking, "That's it, I've lost it. I suck."

When I got to the top (and with ghost hills, where exactly IS the top? [insert twilight zone theme here]) I looked at the left shifter and was like, well DUH!!!

Although it sucks as you go up a hill like this feeling like you are performing badly, I really love looking down and realising that I went up in the big chain ring!

You muscled your way up - congrats Indi!

Next time you know you can do a few higher gears in you small chain ring!

[DDH]

That is so great. Way to Go!!!!!

I know the avoiding hills feeling. LOL Now you know you can do it and nothing will stop you. Congratulations again!!
