As many of you know I'm a newbie, just bought the bike last month and am slowly building up my distances and fitness in and around the Peak District.
Whilst asking about distances etc people talk about 'hilly' rides and 'steep' sections but...isn't it all relative? If your from Norfolk then your perception of hilly and steep will be different than if your from the Lakes?
I was doing my weekly 40 mile commute between nights and noticed that one of the hills I have to get up was signed as a 12% incline and I wondered how this faired with others? Is that steep? (feels steep to me, obviously!) again...just trying to get a benchmark!
