Heartbreak Hill is my "need a quick ride in the morning" ride: it is long and steady, and yes, has good shoulders. Summit Ave in Brookline is going to be on my training list: I'd say that at it's worst it is near or at 18%. How did you get all those grades, Robyn!? I'm impressed. I'll have to search those hills out.

Highland Ave off of Mass Ave in Arlington is good, as are any streets between Highland and Park Ave, off of Mass Ave--they head straight up into the Heights ending at Gray Street in many cases.

Eastern Ave, at the top of Highland Ave, going past the Brackett Elem. School to the Watertower. Steep grade. This street and Highland were the downhill portions of the cycling race in 2000 that sadly resulted in the death of Nicole Rinehart of Saturn.

Anyone going to join in for the Major Taylor?
