the Ramsey hill sprint – 1:21
March 14th, 2007 | Published in general
If you ride in St. Paul, you probably know the hill. It’s short (1 block) but steep (gaining about 300 feet), so it’s a nice challenge. I’ve decided to make it some sort of fitness benchmark for the year, and i’ll try to revisit it maybe every couple of weeks.
Yesterday’s (1/13/07) benchmark time was 1:21. I was getting a stitch in my side about 2/3 the way up, and had to downshift to grind out to the top. It took about 5 minutes to catch my breath again.
I wonder if i can beat a minute. Somebody must have already, right? Anybody have a record?
