**CANCELED** "Easy" Hill Repeats - Magnolia

This is a weekly series of "easy" hill repeats, which are great training to improve your hill climbing abilities.  To warm up we will ride from the SPU West Ewing Mini Park along the Canal to the intersection of Dravus and Thorndyke Avenue in Magnolia.  That is where the fun starts.  The hill is just under 1 mile.  The first half is a gentle grade of 2-3% and in the last half it kicks up a little to a 4-5% grade.  We will do as many repeats of the hill as we can in 60-90 minutes. After that we will return to the mini park the way we came. 

Route Note:  Cue sheets are not needed but can be printed off the RWGPS link below. The mileage and elevation gain shown on the RWGPS link is for two hill repeats.  Your actual mileage and elevation gain will vary, depending on how many repeats you do. (Each repeat is approximately 1 mile up and 1 mile down and an additional 200' of elevation gain.)

Please be sure to arrive 15 minutes early so we are ready to depart at 5:30.  

NOTE - In Order to following COVID-19.social distancing practices, we will NOT be stopping for coffee or food during the ride, so please be sure to bring your own energy bar or the like as needed.
