Still enjoy climbing.
I'm about 70lbs. heavier than when I raced (road bikes) back in the 80's - 90's. I still enjoy my road bikes but spend way more time in the woods away from the steel bulls(cars). I have worked and lived next to the fourth hilliest city in the US. So, you best learn to enjoy hills and that's always been my moto. I may be a tad heavier and added 30 years on this body, but I still like playing on hills. So today on half day Friday it's off to the trails right down from my work, so climbing awaits. Spent almost three hours playing on some new trails and jumping from climb to climb. Great way to get ready for some hot weather moving in this weekend.

I went down Pigpen three times to do the other climbs that were branching off of it. Got to love The Burg because it's climbs everywhere, and I much rather climb than descend. I just didn't have the thrust to go over the tree down near the top of the climb.
