I've lived my entire life in the flat parts of Oklahoma. Back in the mid-90's, when I first got into riding, I considered myself to be in pretty decent riding shape. I hauled my bike out to Colorado and rode the paved roads into and thru the Garden of the Gods. That's when I learned my riding fitness wasn't so good after all. I was huffing and puffing, barely moving uphill when two girls on big mountain bikes with big knobbies just cruised by me, chit chatting away, not at all out of breath.
On the downhill, I got going so fast that I broke a brake cable and almost wore holes in the soles of my shoes! I did get stopped though!!
