There is no training value to that stupid hill. None. The only advantage is the views and the privacy. Whacks the fuel economy on the cars, hard to get up and down when we have icy roads, pain in the ass on the bike. But I actually kind of like it. Gives me something else to whine about on BF.
Actually, if you ride any hill 1,000+ times, you do get used to it. I'm used to it. Every day.
