Does anyone know when this is supposed to come down?
I like to think that it really screws up the rhythm of my ascent on 9. It's almost impossible to hit the light, and for some reason I get nervous with the cars behind me, and then I get nervous crossing the diveted yellow, and then I seem to think that I am riding to slow and the cars in the opposite direction are waiting for me. The end result is that I pedal a very fast cadence to get through it and find my heart rate way above where it should be.
It's probably just a poor excuse for not climbing enough, but it sure seems like the few times I went up 9 before the light, it was easier.
