I was going to give up at one point and a couple of pro riders came along and gave me new encouragement so I finished with them. I was riding my 97 Cannondale

I did the climb about 2 weeks ago.
It was midweek which probably explains why I didn't see any more riders.
The weather was no problem, even at the top.
It is a great ride. I hope to come back and do it again someday
Thanks for all the advice
