    We have a hill near us with a sign that says 15% grade. Is that the grade you are talking about? It does look rather steep and is pretty long. So far I have given it a wide berth but when I get stronger I hope to give it a shot.

    The scenery is not bad too I have passed plenty of lovely lean men out of the saddle on it while Im cruising up it slowly in the car - very slowly so I can really enjoy the view.

    Hmm. My take on the mountain vs. hill thing has always been about how much snow it collects in winter, but I guess that's the skier/snowboarder in me.
    Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

    pkg, you have to be strong here, if you aren't you will be after riding a few months!

    I rode that mtn/hill yesterday I was really going up it faster than ever, my riding buddy was having a hard time but I felt great, I didn't time it but I know it was faster than before. I give my riding buddy a break tho she IS 58 but she doesn't look it or act it.
