Day 15 Ride: 10 Hills

We attempted the 10 hills ride again today. My legs are feeling like absolute crap. So are everyone else's (minus Devon who was killing the climbs on a bike that wasn't hers and just coming off a plane). Must have been the time trial effort the day before. The weather was a bit chillier than it has been on previous rides, but I still rode in shorts and a jersey with a vest and arm warmers. It was a good ride though. We all had a good time enjoying the views and chatting. Einat, Lauren, and I skipped the last two hills because we were toast. Oh well. Today we are flying up to Brussells, Belgium. We are staying in Nicole Cooke's team house this weekend...sweet!!!! The race is in Limburg, Holland. It's an 88km point to point road race. Part of it goes over the Amstel Gold course. We climb up the famous Kuetenberg climb. It's going to be a brutal race. Last year there were some huge names that showed up to the race. Anyway, I'll post updates as internet access allows. Check back soon! In the mean time, here's some photos from yesterday. Enjoy!

The Pyrenees. This view never gets old!

Devon and Ashley are all smiles.

The top of hill number 8. It's a steep hill, but the views are rewarding.
