...I'm 6'2" 202 lb novice and I ride out to Red Rock Canyon the 12.4 mile climb on about a 3% -5% hill and I average about 10.6 mph. I try to start NLT than 7:30 am but it's already 85 degrees out here in this friggin desert.

My main question to you larger guys is what is your moderate hill climbing speed? I feel like a sled going up -I am!

Thanks, Sincity

P.S. When I go back down the rolling hills, I blow by alot of people at 30 mph+ for the same 12.4 miles , especially the little guys that pass me going up canyon

. At least us big lugs get some kind of reward for dragging all that weight up the "alps"!
