Stone Mountain Bike Ride

I took my new road bike out to Stone Mountain this afternoon for a ride.  Prior to starting the ride I had grandiose thoughts of being able to make at least two laps around the mountain.  That thought evaporated from my mind after the first brutal hill.  I was lucky to make it one lap and to be honest, on the last hill I was a little bit pitiful.  I kept moving but I was being passed by ants.  

To celebrate the lap around the mountain I rewarded myself with more than 3 pounds of buy one get one free boxes of Froot Loops cereal.   You gotta celebrate the small victories!

Were you going clockwise? That hill just before the walk-up trail sucks. If you can get up without walking your bike, you're doing great.

Mmmmm...Froot Loops....

I'm with Cara. Climbing the big hill was a big accomplishment :)

I could have sworn I posted a comment about walking on the Silver Comet Trail, and then "rewarding" it with a huge meal at Jim N' Nick's. I thought about that when I read your comment about rewarding yourself with cereal. Yum!
