Also, does anyone here ride Harpers Ferry West Virginia? There is a monster of a hill in town.
You can also map rides

May I ask where said 'monster' hill is?
I look at the topo map for that area and don't see much.
Head out of Harpers Ferry on 340 and take 67 north in MD. About 12 miles from the intersection of 671 and 340 park at Mt. Carmel Church on the left.
Reno Monument Rd/ Lambs Knoll combination will get you ~4 miles and 1300' gain
