That's the ride I did today and averaged like 14.5 lol
It depends. If I wanted to, I am sure I could find a route to do 3000ft of climbing in 20miles. In converse, I could probably find a route similar to your 800ft in 20miles. It just depends what roads you turn down. None of the hills here are very big 400-500ft each, but they are plentiful, and some peak out in the upper 20% range.
