About 4 years ago, I tried (and failed) to ride the hilly-ass road from my house to the Appalachian Trail.
Yesterday, I tried again. I made it the whole way, and never even walked any of the hills. I almost had a heart attack on one of the hills, as I spun a 17″ gear at about 120rpm, but I made it.
Victory!
Nice! I hiked that portion of the AT not long ago it was pretty fun.
Fantastic! Definitely a cool ride!
