    Well done, Mr. Silver. I'll try to channel you in Tennessee. Seeing it graphed like that, I'm even more impressed by the local rider who recently did that climb 13 times in an hour. EEEEEEEKKKKKK.

    Awesome job! Whether it's 17% grade, 27% grade or somewhere in between ... it's horrifying either way and, therefore, a big, "Atta boy!" to you! I think about 11 to 12% is the most I've done and it's was killer enough for me.

    Wow. At times like those (climbing that hill) I think I would fall into the category of "it's definitely the destination, not the journey there". Good job!
