So I'm whining to Jason P. about the lack of good climbing in our area. I went out this morning for the Six Sisters hill repeats, where the biggest climb is a whopping 220 feet of elevation gain. Even doing hill repeats, I averaged just under 80 feet climbed per mile ridden. For me, it's not a real climbing ride until at least 100 feet per mile. The best ride in recent memory was the Stoopid 50, which came in at 127 '/mi. Jason lives in VA, where there's a number of pretty decent sized hills right in the area, so it's really easy for him to find good climbs.
