i conquered the hills

8/8- Rode (for the first time in weeks) 32 miles up and down some pretty rough hills around the Wilmington and Chadds Ford areas. The ride was for the Mike Clark Foundation, who was apparently a pretty tough guy. We were going to do the 100K, but opted for the 50K once we started and saw what the terrain looked like. "100K and 50K rides take cyclists through scenic New Castle County, DE and Chester County, PA traversing up to 15 of the most challenging hills in the area – Beaver Valley, Twaddell Mill, and Cannery, just to name a few." I should have known, reading this on their website beforehand. Well, I can safely say I conquered half the hills. And they had the best bike snacks I've seen on a ride so far.
