California Blvd, between Palm St and Phillips Ln, is one of the steepest hills in San Luis Obispo. (Map here.) I climbed this hill today on my bicycle for the first time. I was fairly winded when I got to the top, but it wasn’t so bad that I had to stop. This is quite an improvement from my first ride.
I feel my riding becoming stronger and easier with each passing week. I don’t know if I’ve lost any fat yet, but I’ve definitely gained leg muscle and heart muscle.
