The other day doing repeats I was flying down a mountain, and saw a bike about halfway up it climbing. When I got down to the bottom, I turned back around, started climbing, and beat that bike to the top.
It was a mountain bike, but didn't have suspension
so it counts for something!
Edit: I was super impressed by her though! The beginning of this year I couldn't get up that on my Road bike, and I know how bad mtn bikes suck going up long, steep climbs. We talked for a bit while I passed her, and I discovered she had already done 20 or so miles beforehand too.
