They say you only get better at hills by riding hills - fewey!!! My parents live on the side of a mountain and the road one over goes up 180 feet in .3 miles (11.3% grade) and then does the same thing on the way down. I did this 2x and then road down the flat road and back to the back side and road it. I thought the back side was a little less steep but I was wrong. It is a 220 foot gain in .3 miles a 13.8% grade. The bummer is that you loose the momentum on the way down because you loose all the elevation in .3 miles, have to brake not to kill yourself and have a stop sign at the bottom.
Stats: 8.17 miles, Avg speed 10.6 mph, 46:18 minutes, Max Speed 35.4
