First true climb kicked my butt.
So last weekend I visited New Paltz, NY and had a try at the climb up to Mohonk Mountain. It's approx 4.4 miles most of which i believe is 8% or more. I don't have a fancypants computer that will allow me to post up data but that was what was reading on my computer.
Wow was that hard! I know I suck because I have only ridden maybe twice in the last two months due to a new family addition being born June 2nd. I always thought 1000 feet every 10 miles was a lot, but this was like 1000 feet in four miles. Kicked my butt.
Would this be considered a hard climb?
