Just another nice day, on a hill!Why did I decide to ride the hard ride today? Was it the 3000 feet of elevation gain? Was it because my legs were already tired from yesterday? Was it because I'm out of shape? No, it was because I've been told that the hills are my friends. They make you strong! Yea right. To day was the hardest ride since last years Ride the Rockies. The legs were screaming on the last few hills, and I was useless for the rest of the day. None the less, I did take time to snap this view of Mt. Jefferson from atop a 16% grade known as Val View Dr. I took this view of the Captial before the ride started.
