You shouldn't ever really feel like you have anything to prove to anyone. Its recreation. Feel like skipping or walking something, even if you've ridden it before. There's no shame in that. A bit out of shape, and need to walk a section of the climb? Who cares.
I always think of two phrases, BC Lotto's "Know your limit, play within it"
AND
On a warm summer's evening..... on a TRAAAAIN BOUND FOR GEORGIA...
