Bisoprolol. To be honest, it just seems to accentuate how I've been all my life. I've always had a gradient at which I just stopped being able to attack the hill, and had to grind up while getting dropped. Used to be about 10 degrees when I was younger, was gradually getting less. Now, with the meds, it's about two :oops: Doesn't really seem to matter what I do, nothing lets me go for it, except for the occasional time when for some reason I can climb badly instead of embarrassingly, but never has, even 40 years ago.

Without my stoker, every trip would only be half a journey
