RE: [WCCTriathlon] Re: Grades - Database Created

So I received a spreadsheet from Tracy (Where she even included the comparable climbing information from the 2006 TdF) and John has graciously offered to help with linking our list to GPS maps to make the hills easy to find, once we complete the database.  That said, with all of the chatter on the "Grades" thread, only three people have input the information into the database we created on the WCC Rides Yahoo Group: Westchester Training Hills
 
I simply don't have the time to go back and cull through the thread nor am I sufficiently familiar with the areas to add the information that you have at the tips of your aero bars. (Remember, I'm from Los Angeles) So please take a moment and input whatever information you do have about the hills that you know and love and then best of all, let's start riding them. Heck it's 60 degrees today.
 
Again, if you can't click on the link above, paste the following link into your browser.
 
Either way, get on it. Maybe we'll ask nicely when we're all done and Bruce will show off his php skills and create a hill inventory similar to what he did with the ride schedule. Yeah, I know Bruce, you can feel free to call all of us weak-assed wusses for not knowing how to code, or not riding when there's lightning, blah, blah, blah.
 
Cheers,
-Coach Adam 

 It's not about winning and losing, it's about the human spirit. It's about figuring something out about yourself and bringing others along for the ride. It's about growing as a person and getting to a place you haven't been.
