Loved your report. Sounds like it was a tough day, and I'm so proud of you for sticking it out. I like your pep talk words- you are not getting off this bike- keep pedaling. Cow bells placed at just the right moment can make it all seem worthwhile.
Congrats on a very tough ride!Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

Impressive job, Marcie! Thank you for the report. The 20-24% grade sounds horrific. Great job to you for getting to the top!

Great job!! It is always nice to find a strategically placed cheering squad, you know you can't dismount then.

I rode with a friend of mine today, she said two of her friends were signed up for the Three Mountain ride, took one look at the weather report and turned around and went home.
