Lots of hills. It seems like we go on lots of quests during our rides. Looking for water, or food, or a road sign. I have boats on my rides, you have hills. Lots of hills.

The group rides are great for that. And I'm finding that I can get into that mindset enough that they are fun -- an entirely different kind of ride, but still fun.

You must be lovin' that new ride! I think the effort to build up better conditioning is a good one. It makes the "slow down" rides that much easier and more pleasant. I just have to make myself push. It's not that much fun, at least for me. Nice pics. You must be lovin’ that new ride! I think the effort to build up better conditioning is a good one.

I enjoy comparing your riding terrain with mine. From the photos, it appears that you've got more trees and your hills are bigger, but there are a lot of similarities. I enjoy the views from the ridge tops I climb. Of course, I'm guessing I don't have to climb as much to get there. Nice report. I enjoy comparing your riding terrain with mine.
