If you are here then no doubt you've read the blog title "HillSlug Musings" but you may be wondering what the heck a "hillslug" is. I'm a hill slug, someone who is slow (like a slug) at climbing hills on their bike. In all honesty I'm a better hill climber than many riders out there but back in 2006 when I needed to choose a username for a forum or two I was pitiful. I was new to cycling (after 20+ years off the bike), riding a 35 pound hybrid bike, and frequently found myself pushing it up the steeper hills. "HillSlug" just seemed to fit. Now that I'm no longer so sluggish on hills I've kept the name as a reminder of where I started and how far I've come since.
