I've never been on a road I couldn't climb.

Here's the elevation profile:



Notice the unrelenting punishment of the two mile stretch. The first couple times I rode it I stopped on the steep part near the top and took me several attempts to clip in and start pedaling again, even if I tried going sideways or downhill.
