Um, Hop, Hop, Hopping Along Hicks

Club outing doing Hicks (south) and Mt. Um.  Hmm, I'd rather be home waiting for the Easter Bunny to bring me some delicious dark chocolate.  Here I am on Alamitos Road.

Well, maybe while I'm out climbing Hicks and Mt. Um, the Easter Bunny will be hopping along to my place to leave me a basket of goodies.

I climbed.  I sweated.  I dreamt about the Easter Bunny and dark chocolate goodies.  I dreamt about a lot of things far darker than chocolate and just as delicious.  It was tough given that my riding has been sporadic but I managed to get up Hicks and Mt. Um.  26 miles later and no chocolate.  Sigh.
