Oh I forgot to mention my competitive triumph today. I beat a guy riding an ebike up the steep hill. There is a flat part in the middle, and he passed me there. I assume he assumed I couldn't keep up with him, but he couldn't keep up with me. He pedaled as hard as he could, but that bike probably weighs 50 lbs or more. I'm sure the motor was working as hard as it could, but it's a very steep hill. I pedaled so hard that I was grunting on each stroke, but damn it, I was going to win, and I did.
