Today was an old favorite workout I roll out once in a while. There's a 7% hill of about 1:15 right out my front door almost. This time instead of cheating the momentum around the corner at the bottom I took the other street with an honest flat u-turn. One hour, pace it however you think you can make the most vert.

I think last time I did this and "cheated" by using the gravity/curve at the bottom I made less elevation.

25 ascents at about 100 feet a piece. 2500ft in the hour, time counted spent going back down.

I need a longer street. Too much time wasted turning around. My math if I had a longer ascent I could hit at least 150ft more in an hour.
