that's an awesome picture!

I went for a hilly ride yesterday and started wondering about whether I'd find a flat route of the same distance to be easier or harder. 'Cause there's the climbing, but there's also the coasting...

And speaking of coastal rides, a friend out here just told me about the ride she might do tomorrow -- drive to Half Moon Bay, then bike down to Santa Cruz and back. I am now unspeakably envious of people with cars and/or touring bikes...
