Why not do the Waterfall hill climb 5 times? There's less traffic than the main loop and I've had some close passes on that Artillery Hill climb.

Tried to call you but your phone must be switched off and as I knew you needed it, I came over and you weren't there so I've left it draped over a chair in your Kitchen.

Waterfall climb is no less painful than Artillery Hill. As a matter of fact, some say it's tougher due to its sustained length with later section hitting above 10%.

The KoM jersey really feels good. It's an awesome challenge and I think more people should give it a go.

When I first climbed that hill a few months ago, I found it "fear inducing." Perhaps that's the reason I wanted to go back and climb it five times without a break. No fear no more.

If anyone else would like to do it, we can attempt it again next Sunday?
