Great post. Very inspirational. You really learn who your friends are when you get pushed up a hill.

Well, if I had been given the advice to stop wasting energy and stand up, I never would have gone up the hill; I would have been crying in the middle of the road. I gear down and spin up 15% grades, seated. Sure, I'm not fast, but I get up them and have since the beginning.
Your story *is* inspirational, but I would have fallen over in the road if I geared up and stood on a climb...
Everybody is different.
Wonderful story; That is what the biking community SHOULD be all about and so often is not![]()
I'm so glad that you have had a great experience![]()
OK, the difference is that I don't ride in a paceline.
I just want to get up the hill!
