Absolutely. No comparison.

By the way, VERY few 18% stretches on any road are more than a few hundred meters long. The longest steep stretch on my road probably averages 13-15% and is about 250-300 meters in length.

Yeah, I was watching that and wondering if she just left the bike at the bottom. The expression on her face says yes!

This thread lacks the email addresses of the riders so we can send them messages of pure and total contempt.

I did the Mountains of Misery ride yesterday which finishes with a 3 mile long, 11.9% average grade. Plenty of people had to get off to finish. I made it, but just barely. Had to resort to the "serpentine" technique in a few places.

I would have been prepared to walk if I needed to, but today I'm sure glad I didn't :p

I spent about 2 hours or so on that site yesterday while daydreaming about the tons of euro climbs listed.

I'm not sure why the photog even bothered taking a pic of people at their Waterloo. Who the heck would buy a pic of that?

custom made Demotivational posters?

Sure. Or something to frame and display in your self loathing photo album.
