No mountains. just really steep res road that looked like [MENTION=189195]TrojanHorse[/MENTION] driveway
OW. Ow. Don't you have the climbing bug too? That sounds painful; worse than my local little climb -- short punchy climbs are far worse for me than a sustained grind up an HC, for some reason. Mates think it's 'cos my legs are weaksauce, and I find it hard to disagree...
Capped off with jumping in the pool at his house, some pimg pong smack talking and cold beers. Good times. He was one of my team mates with I did the Rapha Gentleman's ride in LA in 2013, the start of riding roadies in the dirt for me.
