Biking to the Garden

G. & I recently got to temporarily adopt a neighbor's community garden spot. It's about 2 miles away as the crow flies; about 3 miles as the bike rides; and vertically situated 200 feet higher than home. I had hoped it would be a reasonable ride for visits where all I needed to do was water, but was also dreading the route because all of the elevation change happens in a very short segment. And I hate hills.

Today I gave it a try, and it's not bad. Definitely doable. I'll be riding it regularly this summer.
