Totally dependent on what route I take. I have 4 major mt climbs I can ride that are all just a few miles from the house.
But there are some other areas a mile or two from the house where I can do loops around some short but seriously steep climbs to get a few thousand feet of elevation gain easily. There's road up the ridge about a mile from my house that has a 100 yard or so section that has to be close to 20%.
I just have serious knees issues that popped up the end of 2019. I can ride level routes just fine but can't hardly walk at all. So I've been avoiding hills. But since I got all those miles in without making things worse I'm going to start back to doing the mountain rides and see what happens.
