Warm weather in Sewanee, mid 80ºs with a heat index in low 90ºs. Didn't feel too bad on the 95% shaded Roark's Cove Rd, but I put the sunscreen on anyway.
I do think there is utility of doing these bike climbs once or twice a week for general conditioning and strength. A lot tougher than doing bike sprints.
This was a significant post op PR, about a minute faster than previous, and close to what I do when in shape. Climb time was 23:07. And, my HR didn't stay crazy high for long compared to my June 18th climb. I seemed to be breathing hard without the HR getting real high. I did stand up and sprint to the top of a couple hills for several strides.
Max HR - 183HR over 153 - 18:17HR over 170 - 7:44HR over 180 - 0:53Avg HR - 160Avg speed - 6.0 mphTotal climb time - 23:07

Diet is good, weight dropping:
143.5 after ride. 
Typical dinner... My one main meal, I'll eat 2 plates of food like this, with just cappuccino in the morning, a light snack mid-day, like an apple. If I can avoid other snacks, I can get to low body fat.
