Phil and I just finished climbing to the top of Gavarnie in the Pyrenees it was a easier day we only had to climb 3000 feet.Phil of course wanted more and went on another climb of 2500 feet while Paul had a beer with some other riders.Thursday climb is only 12 miles but the grade average is 10-12% which will take about 3 hours to the top.Relatively speaking Rocky Hill is @ 5-6%grade for 1 mile.
