Actually, we have some rollers around here, especially up towards the Alabama border, headed north. They get steep, fast, and when strung together you don't get enough spacing to "roll" the third or forth uphill part from momentum. Put these into a north headwind and I get a good workout. I try and make the direction taken minimize the down hill action so I get to have some exertion beyond the regular flat coastal rides we tend to get locked in to. Nothing like what you guys have in other areas, but I use what I have to work with. Not training for racing, that ship sailed when the PD diagnosis came last summer. Now, its just to satisfy my riding wants and needs. When I went out to start yesterday the stiff north wind made me decide what to ride, and how to structure the workout. When the opportunity to ride some real climbs I'll go for it. Just have to make that possible, somehow.
