Leah, So fun to bump into this unabridged version of your IG post (I should come to this forum more often).

Re: [RBW] The 3 Wise(?) Women and the Mountain
Thanks, All! I’m so glad I have this List with all its kindred spirits. It’s so good to have like minds to share the triumphs and the tribulations with. I don’t have anyone in my “real” life who loves bikes the way we all do on the List. Merry Christmas and thanks for your kinship!

Leah: Your posts are always enjoyable and this is no exception. 900+'of climb in 12+ miles is no mean feat. You picked good bikes to do it on and enjoy sustainable breathing and heart rate too. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
