The Tuesday Hill Slayer

A dose of hardcore bikey rejuvenation: a varying route through bicycle heaven of 25-30+ miles, and 2500+ feet of climbing. Hardcore is more about attitude than conditioning. Even if you're kind of a slow climber, come on out. The route will always be hard, but we'll be nice, and if you keep at it, you'll get better.

This week's route: To be determined.
