The longest climb is along St. Julien Rd to Tunnel Mountain. From the intersection of Banff Ave and Buffalo St you will gain about 200 ft in about 1.25 miles. You then drop that elevation in about 0.5 miles. There is a bit of a climb out of Sundance Rd but that is more gradual. Really, the big one is at Tunnel Mountain. I hope that helps!Runner Leanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920305723750242672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843653167115605408.post-48118410254387376572008-02-20T06:21:00.000-07:002008-02-20T06:21:00.000-07:00oooh, spreadsheets -- that would be enough for me ...oooh, spreadsheets -- that would be enough for me :)Robert Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989846919612674687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843653167115605408.post-51683368204102695332008-02-19T20:43:00.000-07:002008-02-19T20:43:00.000-07:00Good job getting back into the swing of things.
