Re: Grades - Database Created

I finally found the Cue sheet we followed where we encountered
Tinker Hill. Its the "Hillier Than Thou", cue sheet, that starts
out of Millwood A&P. I will enter the info for Tinker Hill Now that
I believe I can find its location. I remember that ride had a few
other pretty challenging hills. If I follow my theory of any road
with the word "Hill" in the name is bound to be bad. As such this
cue sheet also has White Hill rd, Crow Hill rd, and Oscawana Heights
Rd ( yes its not "Hill" but "Heights" counts as well).

Cheers
Javier

re: roads with the word "Hill" in them... Let's not forget roads that start with "Cliff" - Like Cliffdale in CT - It's a bowl shaped road between riversville...
