Onward and upward on the final three miles of climbing of Morning Star Mine Road

I'm ready to tackle this hill, this headwind, this heartburn. Intermittent crosswinds are mildly destabilizing, but still better than the headwind. The grade is a tad steeper here, mostly three-to-four percent, and occasionally five.
