Haha. This last weekend at the century ride I was doing there was a short hill - about 400 yards - with a 20% grade. I'm man enough to admit I am NOT a good climber and between being tired and the wind, this hill was extra tough for me. As I looked down at my cycle computer I realized I was doing about 2.5mph. I can walk faster than that.....so I did .

The best part was that as I pulled over and got off the bike, a girl behind me a snide comment about flat-landers who can't climb. I still beat her to the top
