Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

% grade link

just found a cool site that you can easily find out what percent grade a hill is if you know 2 of the following three things: Vertical change, Horizontal distance or percent grade...all you have to do is type 2 of them into this calculator and it figures it out for you! enjoy the hills!

So, if I know the percent grade, this website can tell me what the percent grade is? That's great!

It's easier to calculate than it is to get the actual values of the hill. I'm still trying to figure out what degree this hill I go up is... changes grades quite a bit from bottom to top.
All I know is... "Damn that looks steep... and fun to go up..."
