I just wanted to put some numbers to a few climbs just outside my front door. I climbed a total of 2770 feet in 19 miles. All of the above I climbed with the exeption of Old York Rd which I descended due to logistics of the ride. I swear there are a few very small exeptions where I felt the grade was a bit steeper than recorded but none-the-less, there you are. BTW, I sure didn't climb today like I would expect to in say July or August but, holy shit, I climbed way better than I should have been for early April. I don't even have 100 miles on my roadie yet. Further fueling my desire to at least in some measure stay on the fixie for training rides this summer. Hoo Hah!
