Like Andy on the Gavia...


Should've posted this the day before yesterday, but been a little busy.  Our first snow of the year came two days ago, which is not news or blogworthy, 

but when I got to the big hill at the end of my ride, up to Witchcraft Heights Elementary School, I rode up the hill feeling like my original cycling hero Andy Hampsten in the Gavia (see photo) 

and noticed a car getting closer to me.  I was doing fine so I accelerated and PASSED THE CAR on the hill. 

I was so surprised I didn't quite know what to do, so my car-driving instincts took over and I passed it on the left, spinning its way up the hill.  And I'm happy to say, I dropped it. First time that's ever happened.

I think it's going to be a good winter!
