I live about a mile from a connecting path into this system. As nice as that is, it also means I always have to go up some short but steep hills to get home from a ride. Great fun when coming home from a century. :o)
Electric assist is tempting, but that becomes extra weight when I'm not using it.
The hill up to the house I grew up in is a hill with 14% gradients. It’s only a km long and 1/3 of it is flattish but it’s always a nice way to fully drain the tank at the end of a long ride. Something much more satisfying about ending a ride that way.
