Any ideas on the best climbs within a drive from Boston? There's Blue Hills (Great Blue Hill in particular) to the Southwest in, I believe Milton, if folks haven't been there yet. I'm looking for something more sustained, longer, and continuous uphill, if anyone can think of anything.

Check out Mt. Wachusetts (http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/central/wach.htm)in Princeton, Ma. The area roads in and around Princeton (Rte 62) offer plenty of climbing and the autoroad up Wachusetts requires a good effort, enjoy! About an hours drive from the Bean.....

Hilly roads out from Watertown towards Concord are Concord Ave, Belmont St and Trapelo Rd.
