Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's supposed be hard and challenging, why bother picking goals that we know we can accomplish?

Altitude adjustment is pretty personal. If I go skiing, my first 24hrs feel like a low grade hangover, after that I'm fine. Still get winded, but I'm not headachey
