The Findley Grind

Dan and I headed out about 6:00 for a quick ride up Findley rd.  It has been rainy and cold lately.  It wasn't short sleeve weather- even for the climb up Findley.  On the highway we had a pretty strong headwind that we were going against.  Once we hit the road we kept a brisk pace to the top.  We got to the top in 35 minutes.  We are decided that we will start the timer when we get to the bottom of the hill.  Dan's altimeter said we had about a 1300 vertical feet to the top.  It is a strong incline when you look at how many miles it takes to get to the top of the first saddle.
