Half the battle of climbing hills on the trails is fighting the incline and the other half is fighting the roots. The steeper the incline, the more sensitive I am to getting over roots and navigating around them. Today there were a good number of times when I was so very close to losing this battle but I managed to correct and hold on. Yay me!
I was also able to climb my red hill nemesis twice today! Yay me again!
Along the way I met a couple hiking in Webster Park. They were curious about my unicycling and we got talking. I liked them a lot. They appreciate the trails and The Friends of Webster Trails, and liked sharing Webster Park even with bikers, despite having a trail running right along their property line. Not all neighbors are this cool. It also turns out their now adult son had a unicycle as a kid and it's up in their garage rafters. I gave them my phone number so I could buy it if they are interested. We'll see.
