Ever just think, "Eh, what the heck?"

I rode through West Virginia when my son and I drove to Norfolk last Christmas. Are you sure about the 8%? I'm thinking it must have been more like 98%. Everywhere you look is a huge hill/mountain. Beautiful state.

LOL! No, the sign said it was only 8% but after riding it I started thinking about some of the other hills I've ridden. I've come to the conclusion that most of the one's that I tackle are between 5% and probably about 11% grades. I've been doing a lot of hills lately because I've been venturing out of my comfort zone and actually trying them. I can't go fast, but I can do them. I've very excited.
On behalf of WV thanks for all the compliments on our fine state. It is very, very beautiful. I am currently trying to leave to go find a better job and a more accepting culture out in CO, but no matter what this will always be my home...cycling unfriendly roads and all.
