Hills and Chills
Thousands of cyclists, noses dripping, thighs burning, converged on Bainbridge Island for, what to many of us, was the first serious bike ride of the season: the Chilly Hilly. Though only 32 miles long, it had some steep hills that required perseverance and low gears. Unfortunately, I seem to be having gearing problems on my new bike—it could just be grime from today’s rainy ride, but I think I’ll have to take the new bike for its first “well-baby” tune-up.
