I Climbed this hill yesterday

( i climbed the opposite way to the video ) ,or should i say climbed half of it? Bear in mind i'd ridden 25 hilly miles before reaching it, the wind was blowing down the hill. it was about 25C and i hadn't eaten anything before i set off. I'm ashamed to say that for the first time in years i got off my bike and walked up the steepest parts.
As cars passed me i stopped and did the waiting for the others to catch me up act, Honestly i couldn't manage it, i was knackered. Am i a wimp, give it to me straight!

When I try to play the video it comes up with the message "An error has occurred. Please try again later".

By an amusing twist of irony, that probably neatly sums up your predicament.

Yes, that plays ok. Looks steep, so I can't blame you for wanting to walk so you can enjoy the scenery.

As you can see it's nice to come down it,even though you have to cover your brakes quite a bit,but climbing it to me was . I wasn't out of breath just out of energy i think. The bit from 2 mins 28 seconds was the hardest.

That's making me dizzy

 

[G-Zero]

Not lazy, just ran out of energy.

I would be more worried about why it was speeded up, I was glued to the screen awaiting Benny Hill and the Hills Angels to come shuffling past.

You are not heavy enough sometime it just is not there, nothing to feel guilty about that is for sure.

That looks like a road of never ending 'upness'. I'd have got off and enjoyed the scenery too. Actually, I'd have considered taking the bus

But my bike's heavy enough even if i'm not!

I didn't see anything to really class as a hill. I saw a long incline if that was it. Yes man up, pain is temporary but failure is forever.

You up for a few of the inclines round here?
Colinj has no problem finding them, should you feel like taking part.

i would have stayed at the bottom weeping uncontrollably

Always up for a decent hill but sadly my car is so small I couldn't get much more than the front wheel in it! Rather limits me to local riding unfortunately as I would genuinely love to take on some of the challenges the rest of the country has to offer.
