I guess it depends on where you live but I know in Austin (Austin!) they do the Tour das Hugel and it is some hillacious climbing. I think it is +10,000. I don't really see how much climbing mine are locally but I think Dripping Springs for the LiveStrong was like 6,000 climbing last year. I really have to think about it to start realizing where the climbing is in Texas.

I think most people assume it all looks like the plateaus of the panhandle and the plains leading to the coast. Whoa nelly I don't want to see a hill if the Leakey Death Ride and the Davis Mountains aren't climbing. We are a misunderstood state.
