The new bottom bracket on my bike gave me a nice smooth ride today for the MS 40. I can no longer say I don't do hills, I don't even particularly dislike them anymore. It was a beautiful ride, in a part of the valley I have avoided because of the hills. After this I won't avoid it anymore.

9 weeks, 500 miles! I'm aiming for a metric century in August, but I definitly need some padded shorts before then
