    When I got into cycling this summer there was a point when I figured I should set goals. There's lots of options to choose from - from max power or FTP or VO2Max or max speed or max distance.

    My goal was more modest: I want to get up the hill.

    Today I made it up the hill.

    I even mostly made it up the hill from the Little Red Lighthouse. I didn't walk any part of it, but I had to put my foot down thanks to slipping on some wet leaves.
