I went with a group of friends for a great 34 mile ride. I live in a relativley flat area with some rolling hills, but nothing with very much grade at all. We drove up noth and I found that I can ride up some good hills. Lucky for me the steeper ones weren't too long. Still, I'm sure these hills aren't as steep as other areas, but for me they were pretty steep. I was thrilled to make it up up everything!

I even beat my husbands average speed by .01 mph. They couldn't believe it, since he goes down the hills sooo much faster than I do! Going down the steep hills really scared me! None of it was too easy but I did it and am thrilled about it. The other milestone was that I now have 1027 miles on my road bike. I only got it last August and didn't ride it over the winter months.
