If climbing the Hamilton mountain on Day One is the high point or the Ride, then climbing the short but steep Short Hills on Day Two is the climax of the Ride. I must say i am trained for such a hill, it is really not that steep, but it bloody stretches a bit longer than i initially anticipate. With one camera in one hand, the other hand steer the bike to balance myself, i have to spin like mad to get to the top. Couple to the challenge, i ride a recumbent, so i cannot use my weight to help peddle uphill. It is all about using my quads and spin. Unfortunately, i stopped recording for the last 100 metres, i made it to the top.

  • this year was my second year doing the ride and that hill was by far the hardest part of the ride in my opinion.
