Our hill climbing leaves much to be desired.? .

Am hoping to bike a couple more times this week and hit a 100 mile week. Jim has consistently been doing more mileage each week.
Number 2 will have to work harder.

Number 2 is only number 2 when going down hill.? ? ? My extra 65 pounds helps me a lot going downhill, doesn't add much to my "going uphill" capability. And, besides, we Kansas boys didn't grow up with hills and don't know what to do with them.? Fortunately, the tour director has promised that there AREN'T any hills in the shorter planned ride.?

By the way, 'midwif' may have only ridden 48 miles, but I rode 77 kilometers (and 23 kilometers the day before).

I have to admit, however, that riding along the Hudson River and then across the George Washington bridge back into Manhattan is quite scenic.? Especially when the city skyline is framed by thunderstorms and lightning and all the recreational sailboats and WaveRunners are running for cover.?
