The 1st time I did Roan I think I went through all my gorp and a power bar or 
two.  Needless to say, it took a long time.  The second time I hardly noticed 
the climb.  I'll kick it back a notch, shift in a lower gear and use rest 
steps or brief standing breaks on steep or long climbs, atleast until I'm in 
better physical condition. 

I know I'm good to go when I'm able to make long steep climbs at a steady 
pace.  Of course, I usually always celebrate these with a sit down break and a 
cigarette on top!
