i was 2nd to the top on a recent 'high performance cycling'* lunch-time ride up Cougar Mtn (1400 ft over 2.5 miles).

so not quite the best, but not the worst either i guess. up against racers i'd probably be closer to the back o the pack.

the true test of my climbing ability will be our 400km brevet in may, we're doing THREE mountain passes! if i live through that i'll consider myself pretty good at climbing.
