Did the Mt. Washington Hillclimb bicycle race in the 80’s. Beautiful weather at the bottom, 40 degrees with 10 foot visibility at the top. Majority of the road was packed dirt. Eight miles, it took me almost 4 hours.

“Eight miles, it took me almost 4 hours.” Wow. That’s what we call “a killer ride.” Your watts were probably super high like the 150’s and your avg mph were probably super low like 5 mph avg. Slow.
