That short little hill just ahead turns out to be quite steep and I have a hard time dragging the 10-ton bike up it a few feet at a time. (My feet keep slipping back while I hold the bike in place with the brakes on.)

Though I had to walk the bike on a few short stretches earlier today, this is the only demanding bike-dragging that I've had to do during the last few days.
