Around here, it's the climb to Black Moshannon State Park. The best bike route up there goes up a road named Rattlesnake Pike. Just sounds threatening, doesn't it?

More like the Bobcat Cafe......we are Salonistas after all.
I've been flirting with running the idea past people of a stupid climbing weekend for any interested with Casa Snowbound de BBQ as headquarters this summer. Perhaps a couple weeks pre-d2r2?
Extra circular activities to include Jarts and Sporting Clays.
I cut my cycling teeth here. Steep learning curve. There is a steeper climb on the other volcano, but I can't seem to track the road through the trees. Worst part about this climb is the 20% section is completely covered in trees. The road is always damp/mossy. I miss it sometimes.

Yeah, the 'ville has seen better days - when I was a kid, that town was hopping with tourists - hard to believe seeing it now. I don't know Mike from Bike Depot personally, but I do stop in there several times a season. Its a great shop & nice folks there.
I'm looking forward to breaking out the new Kirk all-rounder on the roads up there. Catskills + Gunks = Catgunk rides.

The highest climb in my immediate area (i.e. w/in 30 min) is Schienerberg, which is about 2300 feet of perfect switchbacks.
Within two hours, we have a lot of alps. It is a great place to ride.
This is closeby. There is steeper stuff around, but this one is a nice ride. You climb up from a pretty busy neighborhood up into the rainforest. It is a loop, so you can choose at the bottom which side you want to climb. Great views along the way in a couple of spots.
