Going for the groceries

One of my goals in Riding Clyde is to be able to do moderate grocery shopping by bike. The grocery store I'd like to frequent for this purpose is 2.5 miles from home, up a bit of a hill.

Yesterday I took a little spin around the neighborhood and tried heading up that hill. Half a block in, I had to turn around and go back down. I tried again on the next block. Same thing. Repeat, same thing.

Today I made it! I got all the way to New Seasons on 33rd and Killingsworth. Now I just need panniers. And to remember my wallet.
