It would be helpful to me as an 84 y/o mountain biker if you could express the steepness of the trail you are riding in terms of percentage of the grade. You were climbing what looked to me like about a 5 to 7% grade and managing to talk almost normally at the same time. I fall completely silent and have to concentrate on my breathing when the steepness gets past 5%.
You have a valid point as GoPro doesn't depict climbs or descents very well. Usually if I am doing a more techically difficult climb I will mention that. Nothing I really did in Bend was overly difficult or steep. This climb wasn't difficult. The most difficult climb was probably Rockstacker. Thanks for subscribing and thanks for the question.
