Okay so the family is going to go walk on a path that also has a bike path. I am thinking of biking my way up to it. I think I can go the distance, but there is a fairly substantial hill in between me and my goal.

I am still just getting started but thought if I couldn't get up the hill then I could walk it I guess. Anyone done that before? I am not in shape but coming down the said hill will be a thrill and a half I am sure.

I was thinking I could have the fam drive behind a ways and if I crap out on the hill that they could rescue me after I walk the beast.

I was just curious if anyone else has ever done that. I won't give the grade of the hill (or maybe I should to give some of you uber riders a good chuckle ) but it is steep (to me) and a decent length as well. It is around a 6.5% grade by ridewithgps' guestimate.

Just wondering if this even a possibility or if I should just truck the bike and ride on the easy path. Oh and the road I would be on is fairly busy with car traffic.

Thanks a ton!

Pat
