Today I rode from our place down to Austin and Erika's. I felt a little more comfortable on my bike this week than I did last week. Every bump didn't make me tense up and wasn't as nervous when cars were passing right next to me. Checked out a chunk of the Bear Creek Trail which was very nice. Will definitely be riding on it some more.

Ride Stats:
Distance: Round trip - 16 miles (approx.) - need to find my odometer/speedometer

Time: 1 hour 45 minutes - including a 15 minute break at A & E's, a few other breath catchers going up the hill and a stop to put my chain back on

Challenge: Hill up Garrison

Goal: Be able to make it up the hill on Garrison without stopping, including making the turns on the two tight switchbacks - should be able to do this in one or two more attempts.

This is as close as I could get the map to my actual route. There are a few places where I wasn't near a road, but this is pretty close.
