Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - I Did It!

So, today I finally managed to ride the whole way home from work. This probably doesn't sound like much to most people, but the last mile of the ride is a 400 foot climb. I've attempted the ride, but never made it without walking uphill for some of the steep parts. Today, I rode the whole thing! I did pause at one point for a couple minutes before the final stretch, but no walking! I did the whole climb!

Outstanding!

Indeed... congratulations!

Any objective we accomplish is... well, an acomplishment. :)

If it is your objective, it is only a matter of time before it is non-stop!

But, for now, savor the moment.

excellent.

Great job!!

Cool! Congrats! I hated hills when I started...

Thanks everybody!

TrumpetMurph, you are the Little Clyde That Could. :)

Congratulations.

Great job, and it is still Spring (Especially in Colorado). Now you need a summer goal ;)

"There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same" doesn't matter that you stopped for a breather you climbed your mountain! Well done. Must be fun on the way into work;-)

Great job!!!! Now that you have accomplished that you will continue to find new things to work at for new accomplishments.

GREAT JOB!!!!

Congrats, by the end of summer, it will be, what hill?

Congratulations & keep on truckin!

Good job! I remember the first time I biked all the way up the hill that had been stopping me. Feels really good, if a little exhausting, doesn't it?

Absolutely! It's a total BOMB on the way to work! :D

Hopefully Rabbit Ears Pass! 10 miles, 3000 feet of climbing!

Thanks everybody! I appreciate the support and encouragement!

As many have said, eventually that hill will become a breeze! If you're truckin' it up that hill at this time of the year, you'll do it for fun during the summer!

SCHWEIT!

My hill still lies before me, but I'll keep you in mind as I remind myself that it CAN be done!

We can imagine our victories are like a snowball, we exponentially egg ourselves on the success!

I'ma go get that bike on the road right now.

Woot!

If it is your objective, it is only a matter of time before it is non-stop!




Today was that day! No stops, up the hill, and once I got home, I felt like I could have kept climbing!

Amazing what a tailwind can do
Congrats!!
