Hey, KSH, I'm not seeing the pictures?

Wow, reading about your month makes me amazed and tired! You are so dedicated, and it is clear that you are training a strong mind.

I have been doing a lot of whining lately because our snow makes it so that if I want to get in any climbing of any duration, it is up/down, up/down, repeats of the same stretches of road ad nauseum. Sounds like you must have done a BUNCH of loops around that 9 mile lake circuit to get your 70 miles that day. Good for you!

Wow.
