My main goal is to maintain a high cadence during the morning 3-9% climb. When I am feeling energetic I will add a detour to council crest (1070 feet) or do repeats up Tabor (636 feet). My average speed including stops hovers in the 19 range. My top speed is around 40. I have been passed only 5 times on my commute in the past decade. The most interesting humiliation was a woman who absolutely smoked me on a light blue and white Trek 1.2 WSD single speed conversion.
