Time for you to take a trip to North AL, or if you want a real long hill climb, head to Cherokee, NC and head north on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There you will experience about 10 miles of pure climbing before reaching a descent.

Isn't interesting how we each desire what the other has? I have to look hard for a semi-flat ride, one which has less than 200-300 feet of difference in altitude over the course of 20 or so miles. On Saturday I rode 40 miles along the NH coast between ME and MA and back. The elevation change was probably less than 30 feet. I was amazed by the pace I was able to keep.
