As a reminder, no hill should be so heavy that you can’t maintain at least a 60 rpm pace. A PE 10 would be an absolute killer hill, either pushing yourself on speed at the peak of the climb, or a really heavy climb.
This makes it a little easier to gauge the difficulty of each hill. I tried to keep it interesting with some lifts in and out of the saddle, short sprints uphill and some longer, in the saddle climbing, but regardless, no flat roads on this ride.Įach climb is rated by a PE level (Perceived Exertion). I really loved this ride, but just to warn you– it’s 45 minutes of climbing.
Happy (almost) New Year! Couldn’t let 2013 end without one final blog post.
