My bestubbled friend, there is nothing wrong with your riding, it is your thinking that you are struggling with. Look to the positives. There is not a hill in the land that I’ve seen beat you, so you are King of all of them. Also, the longer you take to cycle up the vertical challenges the more time you have to enjoy them. Myself and my cycling companion, Mr Lewis, celebrate the time we spend on these inclines discussing the perspective duality of good and evil and the hidden meanings in Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne. Think yourself lucky that you’re not one of the club’s mountain goats, because once you’ve won the CARTEN, bought the World’s most expensive bike and beaten everyone over the Bwlch then, really, there’s only one way you can go.
If you’re not buying any of that, perhaps some red meat?
