Puttin it in context - climbing miles

[Catrin]

This is the brevet they moved from the west side of Columbus to the east side - instead of starting at Galloway it starts at Buckhorn Lake and goes north and east.

That being said, my mileage base has not been progressing at the rate I had hoped, and now I am nursing quad and hamstring - though it seems pretty close to being healed. I had pretty much decided to wait until spring for my first brevet, though a part of me was still toying with the idea... I just don't think I can do that kind of climbing in a little over three weeks...

I have been trying to climb every hill I can find, but am still very slow in the hills...
