You must be feeling better, back to kicking my butt on the climbs! 💪

Don't know about kicking your butt in the climbs, if I did it was only because you were taking it easy and enjoying the scenery on this one.

In my book, 6 minutes faster constitutes a butt kicking! 😰

Like I said, when you're coasting and I'm pushing, that does not equate to a butt kicking.

I really like the Stelvio climbs. I haven't done them for a couple years, I'm probably due. I usually do the climb and descent as one ride. The only way I can justify riding the descent is if I've done the climb to earn it!

I'm right there with you on the Stelvio. I always hate starting out on a climb without a good warmup. I like to start out on the descent first when I can. Then do the climb, if I have the time to do both. Yesterday, I got a late start (Donna likes to eat dinner around 5:30) so I opted to just do the climb.
