PurePink! So glad you're finally posting... you cry all you want... that was a BIG personal accomplishment and goal you set... and you didn't just achieve it, you blew it outta the water! I know we could've done the metric... but must admit I was FINE with getting off the bike when we did! Poway Rd is not the climb I wanna do hill repeats on that's for darn sure!

LED- hope this helps inspire your friend... I am a firm believer that you can do whatever you set your mind to.
