You're right! I forgot all those highway overpasses.Originally Posted by Geonz
Actually the first ride my SO every convinced me to do was a "C-U Across the Prairie" ride (not sure if it was called that back then?) and it included a 25mph headwind up an overpass...I thought I was gonna die.

I passed a dude...
...and he was in the granny gear, and I wasn't.
Not sure what mantra I was using to pull it off (it was too early to think about chocolate 
), except that I was determined to roar (okay, maybe more like 'breeze') past him on Heartbreak Hill. Thanks for this fun forum!

Hahaha! I love the fact that you passed the guy on "Heartbreak Hill".
Makes it all the more significant! Poor guy.

How about "calories from chocolate don't count because I rode the hill"?

I'd settle for "calories from chocolate don't count because PMS made me do it", but I guess I'l have to find a hill to ride up tomorrow instead (not so easy in London).

Okay, okay...maybe it was a bit harsh to say I wasn't thinking about chocolate on this morning's ride. I am also in PMS mode so it's a given, right.
But in that moment, all I could think was, "I have prey. Must catch it." I frighten myself!
I just picked up fancy chocolates this evening for BF's birthday. Believe me, I'll be thinking about THOSE on tomorrow's ride.
