Recon Drive
Well the snow is SLOWLY starting to melt, and I've actually been able to get a semi dry ride in once a week. Since this is the first time using my garmin up at school, I became curious about some of the hills up here, so I took a recon drive.
Agate, a road most cars stay clear of in the winter
Result:
Average 9.7 Max 20.0% (Believeable near the begging)
Road that bypasses Hancock MI and the tail end of highway 41 Climb
Average 6.6, Max 11.3
My normal climb route (did it today on a heavy SS 29er MTB)
Average 6.1 Max 13.4
Looks like I'm going to have to map out a good route to hit all 3. I might be able to make it under a 8 mile loop.
