Hill repeats

[Roadtrip]

Wished I lived near smaller roads. Big road I have to go on to get anywhere around here scares me with all the traffic at speed.

Good luck!!

Good luck/have fun! I live in a little valley by a small river so anyway I go is uphill. It just depends what grade I want. I should do some hill repeats. My longer rides are all on flat terrain and I really need to get used to climbing before our tour.

Good luck tomorrow!

How big/long should a hill for hill repeats be? How often do you climb it?

Are hill repeats meant for areas where you don't have long enough ascents, or do they have other benefits than long and steep climbs?
