Hills of morning ride

"I did it!" - in the words of Elizabetty.

I woke up this morning and had a glorious hill repeat ride through, or up and down the Tufts campus. The morning is much brighter when you actually have the chance to see the sunrise. It was cold as I started out, but as the sun rose and I continuously climbed, everything and everyone warmed up! The weather is so pleasant this morning that I kept zooming back down the hill for "one more" climb. Or perhaps anything is more fun than moving forward in the work week. Nope, I really just love being outside and working out.

Check out the hill repeat...

Also another tip for new riders... Bike grease is impossible to get off. I cover myself with it on every single ride like it's a contest, costume, or new fad! Anyway, sometimes, I forget to scrub it off and then I look very peculiar and dirty! Rubbing alcohol cuts through the grease in seconds and a little soap and you're on your way! I have plenty of RA from my falling days... :)

Oh and how many repeats did I complete... 10! Is that a lot? It's a lot for running, but not sure about biking... Better than sleeping in!
