ETA - I just found this:
4th Category - the lowest category, climbs of 200-500 feet(70-150m).

3rd Category - climbs of 500-1600 feet(150-500m).

2nd Category - climbs of 1600-2700 ft.(500-800m)

1st Category - climbs of 2700-5000ft(800-1500m)

Hors Category - the hardest, climbs of 5000ft+(1500m+)
This is just the thing I needed, Snap! Looks like I ride on mostly their "lowly" hills -- 4's for the most part, with maybe a nip into 3 now and then, just barely. It kind of helps to understand what they're talking about a bit!

Thank you!
