Hillicious Ride No. 9 - was it just me, or did someone make them steeper this week?

 

A beautiful summer evening to go out and hurt oneself on the hills...  Thanks, everyone, for coming out.  Dan had has camera as well, and may post some more pictures.  And welcome to John on his first BCC ride.

 

 

 

The start of the holdiay weekend brought out lots of traffic, but we had a grand time.  Since no one was working the next day, we extended the traditional Tour de Scarborough to include climbs up Meadowcliffe Dr. and Bethune Blvd. 

 

Weirdness of the night:  On the last climb up Brimley, Ryan and I being passed by a Chevy Surburban - pulling a boat on a trailer, no less - and having a women lean out the passenger window and yell at us that we're "taking up too much space on the road".  Seriously?
