Ladysmith: All the streets in this town go UP!
Monday July 11, 2016, 40 km (25 miles) - Total so far: 72 km (45 miles)
After squeezing my trike, stuff & myself into my little car, I had to now get it out. I had help getting it in the car but at 7am. this little town is still asleep. Fortunately, a worker on his way home passed within the sound of my voice & he was volunteered for the job of helping me extricate my trike from the back of my car. A half hour or so later I am all packed up, car is in storage & I head off - DOWNHILL! I have been known to hit 80kms/hr on my trike with a little help from gravity but with a 30lb. load on the back of my trike, today wasn't going to be a record attempt. I was thinking the climb back up to get my car better be worth the fun I was enjoying going down.
