>>1606447Closest long-ass climbs to me are in the Ozarks/Ouachitas (Mount Gaylor, Mount Magazine, White Rock, etc.). Holy hell... even the paved stuff is painful. Girlfriend set up a gravelly route, started up Mount Gaylor onto Cartwright. I'd only ridden about 44 miles in the last three months, and thought my quads were going to burst. Freezing weather didn't help.
