The hill up to my health clinic is about a mile and a half at 4% average, with steeper parts maybe more. It never gets much easier, and I don't go much faster.

I estimate this overpass hill at 11% for about 1000 ft.


11% grade to overpass

At my age and fitness, my lungs max out way before my legs. I need lower gears just for pacing now. Clem has a 26/34, Fredo a 28/28.

All hail the wheezing geezer!
