Cycling

I managed to get some cycling in over the last several days. A typical round trip in these parts involves about 100 feet gained or lost every mile. Since its a round trip this implies a minimum of 200 feet per mile gained on the uphill parts. Thus there is a minimum average of 4% grade when climbing, and usually somewhat more, since there are some flats. On my last ride I hit a 17% grade and was barely able to keep going. When I got home, the only part of me that didn't hurt was my hair. 

I was thinking of moving to Louisiana since I hear its pretty flat down there, but the other half of the senior Cherdacks vetoed any such plans.  Just as well, flat is kind of boring.
