This "hill" is actually a mountain. It is not an easy ride at all. I ride over 5 miles just to get to the bottom of it. Then you climb like 600 vertical feet in 7/10ths of a mile. I do it all backwards to get back. It is about a 12 mile round trip. BTW, the mountain is actually Mount Peter.

If you are riding Kaine Road, that is a hard climb, 15% grade, 580', 0.73 miles.

Don't ski the trees, ski the spaces between the trees.

I've lived in New York my entire life.

If you like hill climbs on a bike start training for Bumps. http://www.hillclimbseries.com/
Kain Rd is on the list of early training climbs for Bumps, although I have not climbed it, I have spoken to others who have. They usually will lap it several times.
