On the upside, those descents look fun.
Very nice. 13.8mph is very good on those hills. I struggle to keep 11 on weenie ones.

Nice job!, I too have been in a hill climbing mood lately. On 7/17 did just over 6,100ft in 23 miles, Then did 3,653ft in 11 miles on the 19th. I will say that my ave speed was most likely to slower than yours. Was able to reach 24,817ft for the week. I think any time your at 100+ft/mile it is a hard ride, congrats

I mean 11mph was my average! 
On hills that big, I'd probably be badass and go 18mph for 100 feet, then get tired and head home.
