I refused to change to lower gears to get uphill and simply gave up ... that way "De Muur" still stays unconquered and mythical to me, which I like better.
On the trip back home, still feeling weakened, I averaged about 13,7 m/h
Mur de Huy of Fleche Wallone fame?
You would have gone better on the return if you had quaffed a pint of tripel at the turn around.
I rode to Chinatown today where I saw an ad for Amstel Beer on a big screen TV.
