Read 'em and weep folks:
2 hours and 30 minutes
24 miles
1,700 feet of climbing
2 sections that required a push
Those are the stats for Rosa's first ride of 2008 on Saturday. I told her that we didn't need to all the way over the mountain to the Rose Bowl, but she said she was "going big or going home", God bless her.
Needless to say, she's been a little sore the past couple days, but not too bad. I installed my compact crankset (50/34) and the 12-27 on her bike, so she was able to maintain a decent cadence on a ride that is all uphill or downhill- no flat roads to speak of. Of course, this also forces me to ride big boy gears now, which is probably a good thing- but I rode that compact for almost a year now (including Superweek and the August crits last year) and it was pretty nice.
In other news, the ABD/GG squad took another win on Sunday with Ryan White taking the honors with brother Rob in 4th place. In Saturday's race they finished 3rd and 7th as well, which ain't too shabby. They meet up with Josh this weekend for the Athens Twilight Crit followed by the USA Crit Series. Stay tuned...

Did she push you, or did you push her?
Just wondering b/c it could be interpreted either way....
You're as bad as Farrell. When I told him about the ride he asked, "Did she drop you?"
