mountain serpentine is very difficult! ... and very beatiful! Cool that you cycled up on it ... I certainly would not have been able to ... I would have velo-walked :))) ... and through some day I would be on finish :))))
In the summer I rode across small hills ... if the raise is long and not strong - then it is almost not noticeable ... but if steep as one of your photos with towers - I rode only a few tens of meters :)))) (well, that the raise fast came to an end:)))
