This is the hill that I struggled for years just to be able to ride in one shot in the middle gear. Never twice in a day. Never repeats. I'd be so out of breath, with legs burning from lactic acid, that I'd have to stop for ten minutes at the top to recover! What the heck happened? It's way more fun now!
