yes indeed .. I had lived in Pawling during the early 90's - I had
done quite a bit of rideing in upper Fairfield and Litchfield county
CT and would return that way - the climb begins on SR 37 don't know
what the percent grade is but maybe less than 10 - then Wakeman Hill
up over the border into NY/Pawling where it is known as "Quaker
Hill" - this so called hill is actualy a ridge that is about 800 TO
900 FT. above the valley - the grade near the bottom (in CT) as I
recall is quite steep - like in the mid teens - certainly over 10
