Hey, at least your home stretch is down hill! I live at the apex of a ridge, about 1000 ft above sea level (fairly high elevation for NJ). I rarely drive to a ride, so after a long ride, I'm usually faced with a 500 ft ascent after 60+ miles of hills. I really don't mind the terrain on my road bikes with triple chainsets, but it would be a bit much for me with the SA 3-speed.
