Pushed up Hills

[bouncybouncy]

I always get a little ooomph mentaly when I get a push...Whenever it happens I take a DEEP breath and give my legs a little talkin' to (let 'em know they gotta get me home)
It kinda is like a re-fresh button...

as for the tires...it is just like putting on a helmet...happens before EVERY ride!!! it is also a good way to keep track of any small leaks and such!

makes them more resistant to flats too.

I've been pushed along on the flat. Now that is embarrassing.

I'd just joined the club and did my best to keep up but there was a very strong headwind, combined with a very slight incline and I was struggling. One of the guys pushed me while I had a chew on an energy bar.

Later on, on the return leg we were all having a great time and we managed to get three of us forming a pushing chain and I was on the front! We were doing about 27 mph with Tris pushing me while Gary pushed him. It was such a laugh and I thoroughly enjoyed it. At that stage in my cycling career I'd never been that fast on a bike before. ( I really was a total beginner!)

I've been pushed up routinely by boyfriend on every second hill or so, sortof as an apology for forcing me to go up wherever he wanted me to

No one's mentioned the weird factor of having a bunch of strange men touch your toosh

There aren't many big hills around here, so the MO is for one guy to go slow at the top till I get there and then pull me back to the group. I think I prefer that to the derriere touching.

My husband pushes me up hills on occasion... but he touches the small of my back, not my ***.
