Just started trying to get better at climbing a couple of weeks ago and I'm dead. After mile 15 I was done but had no option but to keep going. 6 miles towards the finish I had to stop 4 times, but I made it!

That's the way to do it though! Shit rides make great riders.

Hahaha that's what I'm hoping for. Trying to push myself more than ever, we will see how long the motivation lasts

Plus once you get fast on the hills you'll be even faster on the flat.

I'm looking forward to that. I've been riding a Surly for years, I'm excited to see how fast I'll be when I rebuild my road bike!
