re: #103 Dread Pirate Ron

It has been cloudy and cold here for the past week so I bought some gloves and a balaclava for today’s ride. Wouldn’t you know it, today is sunny and warming fast. I’ll regret the thermals later today. I’m going to ride to Port Costa for a beer and lunch.

It’s been years since I seriously biked, but struggling on the uphills was always my favorite part. It was when you got the best exercise, and was the best way to gauge your progress. There was a killer uphill near where I used to live and I remember when I first finished that climb and realized I wasn’t breathing heavy. It was a real sense of accomplishment.
