What is the technique?

Last night I took the trusty langster for a spin up newlands pass, at the very top I was close to vomitting.

that simply mean you're overweight.

I vomited lasagne all over my bike when I was over 16 stones after trying to cycle up a very steep hill in the mist of Surrey.

now I can attack hill without too much problem after getting rid of the excessive 4 stones.
