I beat the rain drops and got in 28 hilly miles between 7:30 and 9:30am. The Cuyahoga National park has a dozen or so great climbs. Three of the toughest are Ira Rd, Oak Hill Rd, and Hines Hill Rd. I knocked them off as a series for about 1700 ft of climbing during the last 15 miles of my ride.
When I ride in Illinois, I need to cover about 200 miles of road to total that much vertical.
