I've got one hill in Cary that I can barely do that maxes out at about 13%, but the whole hill is only 6%. (

Didnt try the hill.... exactly I gave in to the hill and turned around. 1 cuz i didnt know my bearings 2. i lost a spoke and noticed it there. 3. more excuses im sure. LOL your so right I will do that today. (create a segment)! I was wondering if Strava was smart like that =) Also I thought about it later.. perhaps i was just at the peak of the hill.. Ill have to try to find out =) There are alot of hills, but when complaining i got alot of HTFU comments, because I didnt know if it was my body telling me to stop or what... combine that with learning what a headwind, sidewind were. I figured that out pretty fast. Its daunting as a newbie.
