Hill repeats on Indian Hill
Today Gail,Dori,and myself rode from the Nugget parking lot(Roseville) to Penryn.Our goal today was to go up Indian Hill road twice and this was the first time doing this.We then to coffee at Trailhead and then headed home. As we passed through the town of Loomis,I got a flat on the rear tire and we stopped to changed it.Curt had just given us a class on tire removal and tire changing Thursday night in his garage,so were prepared. But my wheel is difficult to get off,but we managed,thanks to Curt,and changed our first flat tire with no guys around to do it for us.i had glass that cut my tire,but we made it back to the cars and we quite proud of ourselves.one our goals before leaving on this trip,is to be able to change a tire in under 10 minutes.That didn't happen in Loomis,but we will get better as we have extra tires,rims,and tubes too practice at home,thanks to Bill Burger. We do have a picture of this,but we not able to put it on the blog from Gail's camera. Our total mileage was 38 miles and 2100ft of climbing.
