  • Success! What a Rush! Old La Honda Climbing

    This Saturday I set out on a cold (but warming) morning out on a ride. I was determined to ride up Old La Honda twice, as last time I only did it 1.5 times, completely wiping out in the middle of the second try. It was my quest to increase my hill climbing strength. Previous […]
