went to pick the bike up and a tune up at cranford bvike shop and decided to take it for a spin. wasnt sure where i would go but felt an urge to do some climbing. headed up new providence rd to attempt ackerman rd. only .4 miles long but a 7.5% grade. it was a nice clip. took some work but i was able to get up with not much of a problem. decided then to take on my new training hill. summit rd. a .9 mile climb and 10% grade. this is the second steepest rd i have climbed. took some time to get up it and didnt push the gears too hard to be safe. this will be a great road to give me power during the pre summer season. rode around a little more in the mountains then headed back home. road by work to see how far it was from home. surprised that it is just over 5 miles. that will make a nice loop for commuting in the summer on bike. but the key to this ride was summit rd. 10% grade and had no trouble on my first attempt. not like warrenville :) ride;
