The trail ahead rises away.
Gradient changes all along it’s back.
Sitting in and spinning all the way won’t cut it.
There’s times where getting out of the saddle and stomping the pedals is the only way.
Legs and lungs burn, not much left in the tank and then it get’s technical.
Shift weight, keep fluid and put the power on only when the time is right.
Keep the pedals turning.
It’s all worth it in the long run.
