I made Ryan Rd my bitch!!!!
I’m so proud and needed to tell people who get it lol
I have a big biking trip coming up later this month in the French alps and started seriously training in February. Prior to February I’d consistently been logging a ton of miles but I live in a pretty flat area so didn’t have much large hill experience.
I joined a biking group that specifically trained on hills and my first ride with them we tackled the beast that is Ryan Road; it’s about 3 miles long and pretty dang steep in parts. I had to walk most of it and was seriously reconsidering my decision to book the France trip. I had seriously no clue how to manage hills, especially the big and scary ones!
Today I tackled Ryan for the first time since February and breezed up it!!! That street is small potatoes compared to what I’m able to do now (the other weekend I logged over 6k ft of elevation on a ride!).
Anyway I’ve been training so hard and I’m so proud of myself and I needed to share lol. I’ve come such a long way!
Happy riding, gals! 🤙🏻
