Hills
Can anyone suggest some good places for some hill training on a trail of some sort?
Something that will have a good 5-10 minute climb on dirt.
I live near the city so can access most places in a comparable time.
Thx

Cascades! Loads of hills there. Search this forum for 'Hillfest' and you find plenty of hilly rides That connect all the hills on the Nth beaches around Cascades and Garigal NP.

We're doing a hill repeats session on Sunday morning - will be posting the ride some time today/tmorrow.
As Phil says.. cascades is a great place to hills, no need to do repeats, there are plenty there to only do one each. There are some hot laps in there too to keep you focused
Thanks for the replies.
Will definitely hit them up and may join you on Sunday depending on times.
IMO the steepest sustained hills in the Sydney Basin would have to be Quarry rd that runs between Hornsby and Dural. See rides section for detail. You can do an out and back and I guarantee your legs know they have had a good workout. I don't know how you go on hills but I reckon it will take you more than 10 minutes to climb the hill no matter which way you do it
