holy the crap!

according to this guy's data (scroll down to bottom) the bit of my ride which i hate the most contains a 20% grade! "For a few brief moments, you summon your strength to persuade the wheels to revolve 16 times, and then the hill relents." he says, but those "few brief moments" seem to last a lot longer than few or brief.

no wonder i hate that hill so much!

he claims 300 feet of elevation gain, but since i don't start at hillsdale, i get to enjoy a 200 foot warmup before i get to the 10% grade. super duper!
