This is a loop including a nice little hill near my house. In fact, the hill is so close you don't get a proper warm-up unless you approach it somewhat circuitously. Weather was pretty decent, low 40's at the start, probably close to 50 at 10:30 when I finished. Days are getting longer and temperatures are rising

I have the over 65 KOM and the over 200 lb. KOM. Of course, I'm the only 200 lb. over 65 y/o on Strava to have done the two segments It's going to be a great hill for intervals, about 25 minutes worth of actual climbing.

I find myself on long climbs rationing the effort; you can certainly get a workout, but it's not as efficient as intervals.
