Fear of the blip

As I write this entry in March 2016, I must admit I am having my doubts.

I am not 32 years old.

I have started to get out on the bike, but figure I have a lot of miles to put on my legs before I am ready to hit the road. Actually, I am more concerned about my butt and neck. Yup, you read that right. Hours of sitting in the saddle makes my butt hurt. And the weight of my body with my hands on the handlebars makes my shoulders sing. But I know it all goes away the more I ride...

Whenever I need motivation to get out & ride, all I need to do is look at the profile of this section of Map 2 of the Northern Tier Bicycle Route...

Glacier National Park. Going-to-the-sun Road, Continental Divide, Logan Pass. Six thousand, six hundred and sixty four feet.

6,664 feet.

That will do it!!!!!!!
