Bikes: A few

I understand Devil's Kitchen up in the Catskills is a tough climb. Watching Raul Alcala zigzagging up the hill in the 1990 Tour de Trump made me think that.

I want to continue to build upper body strength. I've made some progress, and it's encouraging.

I want to take more long rides. In 2017, I had rides of 65, 71, and 104 miles. Two of those were very hilly. Maybe I can do a metric century (or even imperial century) each month?

I want to find a hill in New York State I can't climb without stopping. I've found some very hard hills, but I've been able to pedal to the top without stopping. I've been told of one or two in the Catskill Mountains that are hard, and maybe one of those will break me.
