Toe Jam South: Conquered!

I bicycled up the south side of Toe Jam Hill today, after 15 months of wondering if I could ever do it.  I did it in my very smallest new gear, and even then, I can honestly say that I thought I might die.  Seriously, I was getting prickling pain in my hands and wrists and I was thinking, “okay, this is what a heart attack feels like…”  I know it sounds silly but that sucker is STEEP.  It wasn’t much fun, and I don’t know if  I’ll ever do it again.  But I did it today.  And somehow I’m proud of myself.
