Gravel bike ride with LOTS of steep climbing. 5000' of vert in the first 20 miles of the ride. The suffering was somewhat tempered by some really excellent singletrack descents between brutal climbs. Thankfully, I was wearing bike clothing that kept my body temp comfortable the whole time, and was easy to make adjustments to suit the changing conditions.
