Ugh, why did I sign up for this?

Here's the elevation profile. As you can see, there were few breaks to be found.

FWIW, this will probably change your definition of "a hilly ride." There are rides that I thought had killer hills when I first did them. Then I did a ride with seriously killer hills, and now I enjoy the old rides and realize they're not all that hilly after all.

Also when I do encounter hills now, I just think: I can handle it, I've done worse.

BTW NoNo, is the trolley museum in Branford still open? We visited it when I was very young.
