    Did the second of two back to back 75 milers in the Fiesta 150. The first time I've done two long back to back rides. Did surprisingly well. Always fun to push yourself and find out what you're made of. I think I'll try Heartbreak Hundred next weekend with around 8,000 feet of climbing and see if I'm made of even more of the stuff that helped me this weekend!!!

    Kfergos, you feel that way because the hills in Harvard are steep. I used to live in the town next to Harvard, so doing those hills in the beginning of my riding "career" sort of made me think they are normal. But, they are not.
    And as far as the racer boys; well my son used to ride up and down, and around Oak Hill/Pinnacle Hill/Woodchuck Hill. He would do the loop 7 times and my husband would do it twice in the same time!
    Let me know next time you are out that way. I will take you up Vaughn Hill Rd. and Old Bay Rd. in Bolton .
