a little perspective

nothing puts the arse end of bunker hill into perspective like climbing bunker hill from the other direction.

i reached a personal milestone today: i climbed bunker hill the hard way without using my granny gear. then i rode sawyer camp at a semi-leisurely pace, then back up the arse end of bunker hill -- which seemed easy for a change -- and then, while i was in the mood, i returned home via ascension drive and its tangly little nest of short, steep hills.

i haven't done a lot of hills since i forswore my granny gear, this was really refreshing.
