Well, it's true that we don't have the sustained climbs that they have out west. But I consider Old Bay and Vaughn Hill 2 of the toughest local climbs. Yes, they are short, but the grades go up to 13-15%. The ride I do from my house to Old Bay is 55 miles and has 4,000 feet of climbing. To me, that's a lot. I like short, steep climbs. I guess it's all what we are used to.
