Hill Wimp

Fair weathered,fair minded but easily persuaded.
Oh hell yes, life is too short to stress over the fact you didn't make it up the hill.



















but do it a second time on the same hill and you are pants.

the other week going up a single track road to ridge hill, car coming the other way, I stopped to let him by, and found I couldn't do a hill start on a 11% hill (well not without the possibility of falling off as I was on clipless spds...if that makes sense). 300m walk just glad I didn't see any other cyclists!

That's good I took his advice today ... As I got to the end of my energy levels.

Mostly I try to crawl up in a really low speed but today it just wasn't worth the effort!
 
i live just over half a mile from the high street. I see loads of my neighbours driving there. I despair at the cars circling for the empty space near the supermarket doors when there's half a car oark empty the other side of the service road.

A cyclist who cycles up to a steep hill, then walks up it, then carries on cyvling is 865,478,458.54 times better than the lazy twunts I listed above.
