Oooh I hate climbing!

So this whole week I’ve been whining about doing this ride tomorrow at a trail called San Juan. Here’s why….the trail is about 12 miles of climbing…but that’s only if we can make it up to mile 7 of the climb. Then if we still have enough time, we’ll keep going. 7 miles of climbing….argh! (I’m clenching my fists and saying …OOOOOHH!)

I’ve been on part of this trail, yes its nice and pretty, but still…that’s a minimum of 7 miles on the granny gear. By the way, no way on earth I’ll be taking my singlespeed…

Ok ok…let me take a few minutes and remember that climbing is just a means to the fun stuff. I do love me some technical downhills and often I’ve been told I should get into DH racing. But once you start racing in something you think is fun, kinda takes the fun away. That’s a whole new subject that I’ll discuss later. So as long as I remember that all that grinding that I’ll be doing tomorrow is to get me to the top just so I can come down…well then, I guess I’ll be ok. But still that’s 7 miles of climbing!!!!!!!!!
