For those of you interested or not interested, let me know what you think about adding a Thursday night memorial park road ride to the week. Maybe if we did this, we could make Tuesday night a Parking Garage night somewhere downtown. I just thought we needed a little more options or at least variety. If we made Tuesday night a parking garage night, the mtbers could still come out, because we all know, everyone can benefit from hill training....just a thought.

Are you thinking of just riding up and down a parking garage? Is there one tall enough to make it interesting?

ya, and its actually done a lot here in Houston I just recently found out. For example, the one by the Allen Parkway Center (the circular ones you see passing by dowtown on 45 heading north to the memorial exit) is said to be a 14-17% grade. The thing goes in a circle so it is keeps the same grade all the way up and is something like 6-7 floors.
