I'm in Madison. And I know it's not *all* flat, but I'm used to the mountains around LA and central PA hills. So lots of things that a sane person would say is hilly I look at and go "that's flat".
Never claimed to be sane tho

Sure...we ain't got mountains, but I guess I prefer rollers for training--consider it speedwork for those long mountain rides you really want to do when you go back to visit LA and PA!
If you're in Madison, you're just a hop, skip, and a car transport to Bluemounds. The Horrible Hilly people keep their cue sheet on line--http://www.horriblyhilly.com/course.html Never long by mountain standards, but many steep hils. That route was actually plotted to maximize incline. A little west still has some steep ones... Try http://www.dairylanddare.com/ for another cue sheet.
Of course, I'm rather smitten with that area of the state--rolling hills, gorgeous land, relatively friendly vehicles. Sigh..but I'm a long way away.
But count your blessings--you could be located in the Stevens Point area--the sandy flat lands of the former glacial Lake Wisconsion. I think Florida has more hills than they do.
