    so a friend and I were riding up a hill (in the city on the way to a trail system) and a little homeless man pushing a shopping cart screamed at us. What he screamed had us laughing out loud the rest of the ride. He screamed "Power through that sh#t, girls." So now I'll be doing boobs to the tube chanting my new mantra as I do it. Thanks, cute little homeless man.

    Since I don't stand when I climb, I definitely used the boobs to the tube last week in the Berkshires, on what I think was a 20% grade. It worked.

    I would totally by that jersey as well. Actually, more than one so I'd always have a clean one to wear when I ride.
