I am constantly trying to find and create new routes that have long somewhat consistent climbs. Suffer a bit going up, big grin coming down. I would MUCH rather do a long 5+mile gradual 5% climb than some of these quick, winding short rollers. I'm in the smoky mountain area. Some of these areas in the foothills and surrounding area can have brutal short rollers that will have you begging for mercy even though it's only a quarter mile long.
