Good job on those hills, Lisa! I did a very hilly ride today too and I almost beat the heat. I should've left at 6:30 instead of 7:30, but getting up that early would've been torture. I'm not an early riser. I guess I shouldn't complain about the heat...it's not really that hot here...I'm just a wimp when it comes to hot weather!

I rode 38.6 miles from my house to Placerville and back. There is one long stretch of curvy downhill that feels like a roller coaster...so fun! The most exciting part of my ride was when I found a Starbucks gift card on the road. Of course I had to stop and pick it up. I had high hopes that it would have a huge dollar amount left on it. But alas, it had a measley $0.67! Oh well, it was a good excuse to stop and rest halfway up a nasty hill.
