22.9miles
All of my riding up to this point has been on relatively flat ground. The Santa Ana trail is really flat and so are most of the city streets. So today I decided to try and ride up into the hills of La Habra Heights. Some parts of the trip were quite steep, I used first gear a lot (I usually don't even use the smaller chainwheel), and I had to stop twice and push the bike. I made it though and didn't feel too bad.
The view was amazing...before they invented the automobile. What I mostly saw today was a thick blanket of brown smog.
Then I went down the hill...weeeeeee, and then down Harbor to Commonwealth and back home. Not a long ride, but a good workout.
