So I have two ways to get from my workplace to a certain intersection. One has larger rolling hills and less traffic, while the other route has a bit more traffic, but has been levelled out for development. It seems to me that it is easier to go up and down and up and down over the mile or so of frontage road than it is to go more or less level with slighter uphills and downhills. I'm on a fixed gear, so its not a matter of coasting down hills, but the hilly route seems easier or maybe more fun than the flat route.

Anyone else have a similar connundrum?

There is also a better shoulder on the less travelled-more hilly route. And by hills I mean gradual 1/4 mile hills, maybe 2-300 feet of elevation change.

If anyone has been to the Kansas City Airport, I'm right by there...
