One foot forward, then the other. One foot forward, then the other. One foot forward, then the other. It's the only mindset that works for me. If I think about climbing too much it destroys the ride. Today, in fact, I did a 12 mile TT and had to finish it off the way I complete all of my rides --- up a 1/4 mile hill that peaks at 17%. I was spent from the TT. The only way I made it up, was one foot forward, then the other......
