If you can finish Chilly Hilly without walking any hills, then don't sweat the "bump" that everyone frets about on the STP.

Seriously, the worst hill on the route is closer to mile 197, coming off SR30 into downtown PDX. It's a steep little S-curve hill that's only about a quarter mile long, but if you're doing the 1 day ride it's just soooo close to the finish that you're already tired from riding all day.
