What does it take to ride a bicycle up the “Rockpile”?

Join Steve for Episode 4 of Obsessed With Cycling, as he relives every punishing—and unforgettable—mile of the Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb: 7.62 miles, 4,665 feet of climbing, an average grade near 12%, and a final ramp approaching 22%.

He breaks down the history of this legendary race, the silence after the starting cannon, the exposed road above the tree line, and what it felt like to fight gravity for 90 relentless minutes.

We’ll also dig into the numbers: 235 average watts, a 162 BPM average heart rate, a grinding 64 RPM cadence, and an official finish of 1:30:26—just 26 seconds away from breaking 90 minutes!

What went right? What would I change? And am I crazy enough to return next year?

You already know the answer.

Drivers have a serious responsibility to protect cyclists—but let’s be honest: cyclists aren’t always blameless.

In Episode 2 of Obsessed With Cycling, Steve gets candid about nine ways all of us can ride better, regardless of how long we’ve been cycling:

✅ Signal clearly
✅ Take the lane when safety requires it
✅ Go single file when courtesy calls for it
✅ Follow the rules
✅ Make yourself visible
✅ Respect the group ride
✅ Say hello to everyone
✅ Stop treating every driver like the enemy
✅ Choose de-escalation over confrontation

You can demand safer roads while taking responsibility for how you ride. Those ideas don’t conflict—they strengthen each other.

Ride confidently. Ride predictably. Be decent.

And don’t be an asshole.
