I just watched the world’s top cyclists ride up a half mile long 15% grade on the hogback ridge above the CSU football stadium. My vantage point was perfect, as I was able to watch them for several miles with binoculars.
It was near the end of a long hard day in the mountains, and there were four riders about two minutes ahead of the peleton. The were all very skinny and rode up the hill in about half the time it takes me.
