and then is it bad for the rest of the ride (70-mile route) or does it get better after a time?

Cyclingmama, I tried to PM you back, but says your inbox isn't accepting. Anyway, hope you're doing well!

Edit: you'll see that the real climbing begins at about 30 mi. in

My sister and brother-in-law and I did the Girls with Gears ride in Limerick, PA last Sunday. The only rest stop on the 40 mile ride was at about mile 21 and lo and behold, it is the same place as the 1st, then last, rest stop on the Livestrong ride. Not sure that we really climbed any of the same hills, but we climbed plenty. The lance ride has 3800 ft of climbing on the 45 mi ride and my Garmin told me we did 3700 ft on this ride. I'm amazed my legs survived. Felt pretty happy with myself at the end!
