My 6 mile commute is very hilly so I am wary once the combination of wet roads and leaves are present.
Thanks! Uhm, no I would not call my route flat, per se. It certainly isn't super hilly, but there are a few good ones on it. The dividing line between the city and the county I live in is a river, so I always have to work my way back uphill after crossing it. Strava has me at only 350 feet of climbing, but some of the hills aren't exactly a cake walk (especially the overpass over the highway).
