Yeah indy - it is pretty crazy. When it flattens out to 9% that feels easy.
Sometimes I wish that we had climbs like that around here so that I try to do them. Other times, I'm okay with it. I did a ride in Kentucky this past weekend that had a 1.3 mile stretch at 7%. It was so fun to go up that I was tempted to turn around and do it again. One of these days, I hope to do a ride that involves some seriously long climbs and some challenging gradients. Until then, I'll just keep battling the midwestern wind.
