Over River, Up Hill

Wow, what a beautiful ride!

I left Auburn across the famous Forresthill Bridge (you might remember Vin Diesel driving a car from it in the movie xXx.

Then I climbed about 800 meters up to Foresthill. I then turned around and made my way home.

Being unfamiliar with the route, I paced myself very conservatively for the entire trip.

I took time to enjoy the amazing creation which surrounded me, even taking a couple of pictures.

There was, of course the obligatory flat to change.

By the time I was making the last kilometer or so toward home, my legs began to take turns cramping on their respective downward pedal-strokes.

I have to remember to hydrate better; I knew going in to it that two bottles is definitely not enough for a ride like that.
