Short but Strenuous

Short Trip but Still Tracked with GPS, APRS, and Ham Radio
It was  getting late in the day but we still wanted to get in at least a few miles so we saddled up and rode to the Post Office and then the Shell Station at the top of the hill at Frost Road and North-14.
Even though it's slightly less than 3 miles one way, this is an EXHAUSTING pull up a long hill.  It's the toughest part of riding we've ever done - the only thing I can think of that's worse is Heartbreak Hill just southeast of Golden, NM.
My blood glucose was high when we started and only a little too high when we arrived at the Post Office so I didn't snarf any snacks during this trip.  We rode on up the hill to the Shell Station where we normally have a treat and potty break.  I had a small Diet Coke this time and did fine, no carbs needed for once.
Fortunately it's mostly coasting and riding the brakes coming back toward home.
