What a great selection for your "longest ride yet."
Yeah, I'd say you're bonkers, yeah definitely bonkers.......
Right. 1 mile = 5,280 feet
The first was about 1700 feet over 4.5 miles and the second involved 1900 feet in approx. 7.5 miles.
For these 2 climbs:
1700 feet over 4.5 miles = 7%
1900 feet over 7.5 miles = 4.8%
