Yeah, that was the only part of the ride, I can say was not that enjoyable.... some sick part of me still enjoyed that bit though
I couldn't shift the tandem's front crank into the 30, and didn't feel like stopping, so I touhged it up the last part of the climb in the 42 chain ring
42t ring + 290lb team + 40lb bike = sucks
