Well I did it. I wanted to turn around 2 x out on the hill. But I knew it was only 20 miles. I could do that. It does not seem like alot..but when every mile is all up hill, those miles get long. To get to Mt. Hamilton, you nedd to attack three hills. The whole time you can see the observatory saying.."come and get me". Tha last hill was a killer. Switchbacks all the way up. I had it in my grannie and standing up. I saw a bunch of riders come down the hill and it gave me some power to do what they did. I finally made it to the top. IT was windy and cold. I had to stay up there for about an hour to recover. It was nice to think I had 20 more miles of all down-hill. My brake pads got a work-out. This will be my new hills ride. I think it will get easier now that I have done it once. The first time seems to be the hardest since you don't know what to expect. On the way back, I passed a bunch of old guys coming up the hill with their sadlle bags and all. I want to be able to do this hill at that age. You can't beat the views as well on the trip. I felt like I was in the back country of Germany.
Anyway, I came back home and sat in the jacuzzi. It was nice. A few more days until I go back home...can't wait. The Suns won today and they looked like they have all year. I can only guess what they would be like w/ STAT healthy as well. I think the Clippers are going to give them a hard time. We will see.....I watched some of the Rocky's today. I laughed when rocky was in the pool trying to swim. He looked like a begginner. Then we his wife made him admit he was scared and the music started and he was training like a champ....he all of the sudden knew how to swim...too funny
