Riding in this area is definitely a challenge with slopes ranging from 6-9% and even hitting 13-17% in some spots. But like anything in life, practice makes perfect. I’d love to climb faster, but I know I’ll get there with time and persistence.
Getting a 7kg (sub-16lbs) bike sounds like a great idea! Pairing that with shedding a bit of weight myself could make a big difference in performance.
After almost a month off due to the flu and other setbacks, I’m finally back on the road again. Feels great to ride!
