Climbs to me have nothing to do with sex but everything to do with meditation--because you are not going so fast and you are trying to ignore the pain--there is a certain rhythm with the pedals and the momentum particularly when off the seat.

Yes a little slower today--but still going with great enjoyment! Besides I have no choice because there is no really flat roads around here!

If you climb the hill for more than four hours, should you see your doctor?

So after you've done one hill, how many more can you do before you fall off your bike?

or, after you have ridden up a hill, how soon before you can ride up the next one?

Here's one of my climbing videos that was recorded with a camera with a more sensitive microphone (NSFW due to heavy breathing). Because of complaints from those with no sense of humor, I now use a ContourHD, which has audio low enough that the viewer has to make a conscious effort to hear what the humor-impaired refer to as "porno breathing".
I am glad nobody recorded my ride up Mt Lemmon!

I'm a female cyclist, and a male friend of mine suggested playing my video and a male cyclist's climbing video at the same time. I did that and just about fell out of my chair laughing! You can imagine what that sounded like!

The guy who organized the Mt Lemmon ride suggested making it an annual event. In line with this thread, "Same Time, Next Year" (after the Alan Alda movie)

Should couples climb hills on a tandem in public?
