How hard is this climb? It's VERY steep. Made worse by the row of trees to the side of the road ... trapping the heat into this section. The cyclists today were greeted by nearly perfect conditions with a light breeze cooling them down all the way up the climb.

While suffering through the steepest part of nearly 12% grades, these riders saw the Grim Reaper who greeted them while dancing to Billy Idol's "White Wedding" and some great tunes by The Who ... or was it only in their imagination?
