Overheard a ranger in Yosemite say they see a lot of people mess up the same loop by going clockwise.

Yeah, clockwise has a brutal climb at the start.

Wait, you're doing it clockwise? I tried that direction once and almost turned around in the first mile. How do you even get any speed going on that initial slope? It feels like you're just fighting the bike the whole time.

Ever tried going counter-clockwise with a fixed gear?

Ever think maybe the problem is the bike and not the direction? Phoenix_singh25 is right about the climb, but my old steel frame handles it better than my lighter one did.
