Thanks.....btw, the GPS didn't help. At the beginning, I would be spinning up the hill and be thrilled to see that it was running 9-11%. Woohoo! What amazing shape I'm in!

By the end, I'd be pushing the limit of my lowest gear, look down and see......7....4.....7.....5....arggggh....what horrible shape I'm in!

I'm pretty much convinced that someone changed the laws of physics somewhere around mile 50.
