"Mellow," yes that's what I thought. How tough could a 2-3% grade be? Ha! If you're from rolling country and your big hills are 0.6 miles long, 6 miles of 3% grade on a crushed limestone gravel surface can be very tiring indeed. You can't stop pedaling for a second, as you come to a complete halt and would just fall over. No coasting, no rest. Here's what their web site says: "A majority of the trail does not exceed a 4% grade, but parts of the trail are considered strenuous. Dumont is the highest point and the 19 mile stretch from Deadwood to Dumont is the longest incline." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
