The view from the top is always worth it.

Just conquered what I’m officially calling the HARDEST climb I’ve ever done on a bike.

And I’ve tackled some beasts over the years…

But the Burke Mountain toll road?

That thing is next-level brutal.
👉 Sustained 15%+ grades.
👉 Brutal 20% spikes that feel vertical.
👉 Long stretches that don’t let up—no switchbacks, just UP.

Honestly, it felt like I was trying to pedal up a wall.

So why do I sign up for this kind of insanity?

Because voluntarily choosing hard things sharpens you.

It silences the overthinking.
It drowns out the negativity.

And it reminds you just how capable you really are when you commit and grind.

So…

What’s one challenge you’ve been avoiding that could actually move your life forward?

Pick it.
Face it.
Crush it.

The view from the top is always worth it.
