I went west on 135th a couple of summers ago when I was in better shape. Those are some tough climbs.

I conquered the evil climb on eastbound College Blvd up to Antioch today. I think that's the most elevation I've climbed in a single rise. Then I had to ride back down it (I rode from 119th and Ridgeview to college blvd, almost to metcalf, dropped something off at an office, then back to JCCC to catch the bus into downtown) - 11.2 miles total this morning. Riding back down that college blvd slope was awesome! Climbing it? Kinda sucked but it felt good to do it all in one run without giving up or slowing down.

I know that hill...ugh. Eastbound 119th between State Line and Roe is a tough climb too.
I think the worst incline I have encountered is northbound from the lake at SM Park...that's a real 'gruel'.
Been following your blog...great job....I'll jump in there one day with a comment...keep it up.
