Does anyone enjoy being unhealthy or unfit ?

Going to ride my bycle for the first time in months (I don't ride in winter because it's too cold and wet).

Because I gain only in winter I have gaind 55lbs since then, so I am going to "punish" myself by doing the worst climb in my area, 3 miles continuous with gradients up to 11%, as an almost obese man.

Will I make it?

Or will my heart explode? Perhaps I'll keel over and die. Maybe the bike's tyres will pop as soon as I sit on it. Perhaps I'll start trying the first hill and just end up sliding backwards and falling into a pothole. Or I'll fall off and roll round and round down the hill.

Just done it, so it's total ~12 miles, the bad uphill bit is the outwards 6.4 miles, also had a headwind and low gear that doesn't work.

So the climbs were indeed harder, with slower speeds than when I was 187lbs last year. Me and the bike weighed in at 280lbs just before I set off.

Did the climbs all in one with no stops and the avg. speed for the whole thing was 0.3mph less than the slowest time it took me last year. It's hardto believe that a 55lb gain only slowed me down by 0.3mph. My chest is kinda achey after that though. Not good.

And I can't fit into my cycling top as can be seen.
