I have to ride 110 feet per mile up hill for 11 miles.
Now, I can do 40 miles just fine per day, just me and my bike per day.
Background history: I have been either riding 40 to 70 miles cross country or 40-70 miles in a single state with an equivalent of 40-55 pounds in a bob trailer except for the last 7 years. I have gotten kinda fat and ugly over those seven years and I kinda fart alot when I eat my favorite food "A Good old pot of pinto beans".
So anyway I am going from Aguanga ,calif . to warner springs calif and then to Brawley, calif and then to the 8 and then on the 10 through ariz,new mexico,and texas. I have already done this trip once before in 97 and then again in 2003. I am good with everything. My question is about starting in aguanga calif and passing through holcomb village on through warner springsthe on 79.
How would it be with a 50 lbs bob trailer. I have never really ever though about miles and elevation like a 6% grade or a 9% grade. All I know for sure is that if you look to the top of the hill or mountain you have already defeated yourself. When climbing a mountain or hill never look more then 8 feet in front of the bike or it's twice as hard. Try it! climb a hill or mountain with out looking long then 6-8 feet in front of you and you will notice it's just a little more strain then riding on flat land but if you look to the top, you might as well try to drag a bull elephant up that hill with you cause it's really going to feel like you did.
Sometimes you just don't ever know until you try. Tell me what you think.

I guess I am also wondering about the intelligence of this website. Is this a website about people that travels cross country and knows things? Do people talk from experience or are people coming to you with an opinion even though they don't even own a bike?
Some people seem to know about cross country riding but then some don't sound like they have ever ridden a bike
Some people say the craziest stupidest things and then every now and then you read some really intelligent stuff and it just kinda makes a newbie to this website wonder. Is there better websites out there?
Please don't think I am downgrading any body either. Those that don't own a bike have their opinion and all is good. I am totally about free speech even if you don't know what you are talking about. I am just asking from 1-10 do you think this is an intelligent website. "1" being "no" and "10" being the "best".

But hey, all is good. I am just mainly wanting to know what percent grade it would be to travel 110 feet per mile up hill for 11 miles. I know there will be up hills and down hills along the way so just think of it as all up hill.
Just wondering.
