This is incredible! I love statistics.
ReplyDeleteI also love you two. I brag about your adventure often, and am still inspired by you. I biked up a 100ft hill today while trying to catch a train and nearly had an asthma attack. Oi.
Thanks, Cass! Our technique for going up hills can save you from asthma attacks.
DeleteStep 1: Shift into your lowest gear.
Step 2: Pedal very slowly.
Step 3: Give up and push.
Much love from the two of us!
