The Ride Report:

What a gorgeous day for a bike ride! But what a painful ride to look forward to. As we rolled out of the parking lot at Park Victoria and Landess, you know that you have a 2 hour climb up to the top of Mt. Hamilton. 2 hours of back breaking climbing - it's a good thing the temperature is still pretty cool.... it is going to get much hotter today with the thermometer approaching 94F!!!
