Avast ye, Lycra-clad, logo-festooned harpies! It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day! So take up your blades and forget whatever nonsense you may be might normally be writin’, and drop down a “Yo ho ho!”, or an “Arrrr!” I’m looking at you Arrrrjan – and you too, Arrrrmand!
looked it up
4 repeats on 4 min rest. .78 mi. from intersection at bottom to road sign at crest. avg watts/time
427/5:36, 417/5:44, 403/5:54, 403/5:54
yeah!!!! Go ARRRRRRRRRRjan!!!!!!!!!
I did repeats on little tor once. I think it was 4 or 5 efforts in a row. Punch it up that first ramp, hold steady until the last gradual lefthand curve to the top then punch it again. Friggin hard. The descent was ok as you got to know it well doing it several times in a row. The bitch was riding from brooklyn to get to the climb. Only did that workout once but it paid dividends. I think avg watts were high 300 for all efforts.
saw him doing repeats of the Orchard climb next to it a few weeks before he won Univest
Newton was a chump.

Kain on the list KH posted is really hard at 15%. On Sunday I did one a bit further up the road near Warwick on the Jersey side, called Breakneck. The sign said 25%. I don’t know if that’s true but it sure felt like it.
Nice
Did O’Malley hurt his writng knee?

I’ve never seen anyone repeat little tor. I wouldn’t want to descend it after a threshold effort — it has a negative radius turn.
What’s the avg. gradient on that? Anybody know?
Not a “big” hill, but painful, especially for repeats. oh yeah…Arrrrrrgh!
