MOMentum

On our very first ride through this part of the ecosphere, our (then teenaged) son Eliot taught me how to take advantage of momentum to tackle the next hill. I'm still trying to perfect the technique here in Maine, where the roads offer up a never ending chain of increasingly challenging hills.  The trick is to get enough speed on the downhill without crashing to make it up the next without bonking. I'm doing better, Eliot!
