Who said anything about racing? It costs a huge amount. Starting on a 10% grade hill is an enormous amount of energy compared to just keeping going as you were, and it puts you in significant danger as you do it.

    I already explained that "being able to stop" also means "being able to start later". I have no idea why you're so worried about my energy expenditure. Don't worry, I will get back home even if my mountain times will be terrible.
