Oh, and Jumbo, I remember a ride from last year. There's a really brutal hill on it, and both my riding partner at the time and I couldn't make it up. We're walking up it and he says "I guess this is that "walk of shame" that you talk about". I started to laugh and say "yeah", but then I stopped and said
"Walk of shame? !@#$, this is the walk of TRIUMPH! Look at all those cars driving by with people who couldn't even get ON a bike!"
Just remember that, every time you are walking up a hill it is one less hill you are driving up.
