Ride Description

This is a climbing repeat workout, what I do is my first one I try to go hard to see what my time is or try to see if I can not spin through all my gears. It takes me about 4 minutes to get up the hill. On my next ventures I try to slow the pace down and keep my heart rate as low as I can. I see how many times I can get up the hill. I typically do this workout on my lunch break so I run out of time before I run out of legs.

Start Location and Parking

I start from Rachel Ridge Park near my house.

Ride Directions

Get on Anderson Mill and turn onto Limecreek. The hill is about 4 miles down, you can't miss it, it's the one you'll hit speeds of 40+ mph on. Once you get to the bottom come back up. I start at the bottom, there is a spray pointed marking on the side of the road. That's where I start from. I stop at the top of the hill there is a power line that runs across the road, when I get to that point that's when I stop the timer. I pedal up the road a bit to recover and then it's back down again. I try to do 2 in a set before a 10 minute recovery.

Food, Coffee and Juice Joints close to Start/Finish

There's nothing out there so pack your own.

Food, Water, & Bathrooms along route

Nada, just a lot of trees.

Recommended Bike Shops (name, phone, website)

Spin City Cycle - http://www.spincitycycle.com is the closest. I've had 2 flats while on this section of the course and both times locals have stopped and asked if I needed assistance and offered the use of their air compressors and shops!

    My best time up the .5 mile hill is 4:21. The first section of the hill is about a 10% grade, there is another increase in the lower part that jumps up to 16.5%. It then flattens out to 10%. At the top half of the hill there are 2 more distinct climbs the first of thoughs is 18.3% and then it finishes off with a grade of 14% to 17%.
