I'm sooooo jealous, cycling in California looks amazing!

The elevation chart on your Garmin scares me

I hope I'll be able to climb like that one day. I've been trying to practice 'hills', I'm getting a little better but I can't imagine myself ever getting up a mountain.
Thank you. I don't know where in the UK you live, but there are some good steep climbs there. Here's the list. There's even a book.

Hardknott Pass is one of the steepest mountains, with grades over 30%. Here's a video by one of my subscribers of him climbing it in this year's Fred Whitton Challenge. It's raw footage like all my videos, so you get the full experience of the effort it takes to climb this.

Keep at it, and before you know it you'll be climbing those mountains.
