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".
Um ... OK. But I don't think that's going to help you get up hills.

Sometimes you just don't ever know until you try. Tell me what you think.
Yep.

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?
Have you bothered to look around the website and read the posts in the various forums, like say, the Touring forum?

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.
You ask about our intelligence ................... and then you ask this ^^. A very basic math question.
