Big cross ride

We rode cross bikes today. Me Ryan and Tim. We went out Bottom road, which is the flattest route around here (Bottom road is a low spot, get it, Bottom?) there's only one way out of a low spot, and that's to climb out. What we did was repaets up a ~1.5 mile climb that gains 155 feet. Oh, and it's gravel. Loose gravel. This is a beeeoootch. We did 3x this hill and then came in. Ryan took us on a worng road in, so we ended up riding across, basically, a cow pastuer (sp?) , then on hwy37 to a nice gravel road where we meant to be in the first place. It was a good ride overall and hard. I felt good throughout, even though up the climb was tough. It's supposed to be hard though. We ended up putting in about 35miles and climbed a total of over 1600'. That's pretty good no matter how it's cut. Add in we were on cx bikes and I have a 46t single front ring and 25t rear, and it's killer.
