Any good hills in the area?
I signed up for the Hilly Hundred in central Indiana at the beginning of October. Two-day ride, 50 mi with about 3000 ft of elevation per day. Not worried about the distances, but my typical routes are pretty flat (most comparable ride recently was 55 mi and 1200 ft elevation). I don’t have much practice riding actual high grade hills or prolonged climbs. I know central Indiana is nothing like actual mountain riding, but I still want to get some practice with pacing my climbs so I don’t come in too hot and burn out early.
Anyone have any good steep hills or longer climbs in the area? Looking for paved; prefer bike/pedestrian trails but comfortable riding on relatively safe stretches of road. Willing to drive a reasonable distance from the greater Milwaukee area if there’s a really good spot.
