On the way home after lunch, we stopped by Kyoto\u2019s Nasty 21<\/span>% city-bike hill climb<\/a>,\nwhich Bridget hit with abandon...<\/p>\n\n

Bridget's time of 41\nseconds<\/a> is almost certainly earns her the “<\/span>QOM”<\/span> (Queen of the Mountain\n— fastest female) award, but due to problems with\nStrava's system<\/a> many faster irrelevant entries pollute the data, so\nwe'll never know.<\/p>\n\n

I was really reluctant to give the steep hill a try<\/span> with my new clipped-in\nshoes\/pedals<\/a>, but I figured<\/span> that if I was<\/span> going to fall over, I should<\/span> fall over with my current bike instead of the new one on order, so I ended<\/span>\nup giving it a try,<\/span> making it my fifth attempt overall...<\/p>\n\n\n

I didn't fall over (yeah), and my time of 39\nseconds<\/a> tied my personal best. (I've since done it in 33\nseconds<\/a>, but that's a different<\/span> story.)<\/p>\n\n

Now back in the city we stopped by a bike<\/span> shop to get new tubes, and later we all met for\nokonomiyaki<\/a> and yakisoba<\/a>...<\/p>\n\n
