I have somewhat started to do this- Wed at dawn I ride a 25 mi course with 1000ft climb. I discovered it 3 weeks ago and ave speed was 12.7, then 13.2 and last week 13.6. I was planning on repeating this ride weekly until I can reliably ride at at 15 mph.

This Wed I plan on tearing up the big hill as per CarbonFibers instructions. So hopefully that will make the the ride a little peppier.
