It would be great if someone on this group who loves to analyze things could take all of these great recommendations and summarize them into a database table which I just created on the WCC Rides Yahoo Group. Westchester Training Hills or if you can't click there, paste this URL into your browser: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/WCCRides/database?method=reportRows&tbl=1
I included the following characteristics:
- Name of the Hill
- City, town or village
- Short description of location or starting point
- Hill distance
- Grade (Avg/Max)
- Total Vertical Feet Climb
- Gear Recommendation
- Recommended workout
- Recommended by:
- Comments, complaints and fears
Assuming we don't have all of the information for all of these great climbs, please put in what you do know and then perhaps we can use this the next month to head out there and try a few of these out to complete the table. If we divide and conquer, we could probably have a complete tool that everyone can benefit from this season and we can all be even better climbers, which I know I for one would love to be.
Criticism, sarcasm and comments always encouraged.
Cheers,
