The scenery was gorgeous though very hilly and, unfortunately, Desi didn't realize that "climb" in the title translated to hills on the ride so she was mentally unprepared for the difficulty we encountered. Additionally, though the ride was great, it was a bit too challenging for a couple still recuperating from last weekend's Rhody Tour.
We wound up having to cut a corner towards the end, skipping about 5 miles of hills, in order to reach the finish line alive. We're not proud of our finish but we are proud of our attempt and glad we tried a ride so clearly beyond our skill level. This experience definitely gives us something to work towards.
