Bike ride 2007-05-28: in your face, Sycamore!

My goal this summer was to make it up Sycamore on the fixie. The last few rides had a walking section in the middle. But not this ride, oh no. I crushed the hill like a tiny tiny bug.
Ok, so “crushed” is inaccurate, the actual process was more like:
- I started riding up the hill
- I thought I was going to die
- I realized I wasn’t going to die, but would probably puke
- The top!
- (Repeat steps 2 and 3)
Of course this was also at 45×17, which has been my training gear. We’ll see how things go when I move to 46×17 or 47×17.
PS: I went up again Wednesday. Since I was heading to the library I had my bag, 10 graphic novels, and my lock. The process was mostly the same, except I knew I wasn’t going to die.
