I got back into recreational cycling about 3-4 years ago. For the past 3
years, in late August I've been riding in a large group ride called The
DALMAC, which starts in Lansing, Michigan, and travels to Mackinaw City,
Michigan (USA). They have several routes from which to choose, but it ends
up being about 300 miles over 4 days for me (about 80 miles/day).
I'm not a fast rider, but it's fun to hit the pavement every summer. But
sometimes, I really wish we had "Team POV-Ray" jersey. Of course I'd have
to explain it to everyone I rode with, but that's why it would be fun. :-)
I now ride a 2004 Specialized Allez Comp Double which replaced my c. 1986
Fuji Allegro.

And there are climbs in Michigan?
I love the climb...
Here we have the Apennine Tuscan-Emilian:
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apennine_Mountains#Tuscan-Emilian_Apennines )
Not even I am a fast rider.
My best performance: almost 27 km/h to 180 km and 1500 m climb.
A great effort!

Where I live, it's very flat. I have a small climb near my house, but I'd
have to go up 30 to 50 times to equal what you mention here. :-)
On the DALMAC trip, there are several climbs, but nothing major. I'm a
little overweight (less than I used to be), so climbs are pretty difficult.
Additionally, I don't have the 3rd sprocket (granny gear), which makes steep
climbs really tough. The DALMAC ride has something they nicknamed "The
Wall", which is a very steep climb for the last 400 hundred meters or so.
http://tinyurl.com/7pljr I was very happy with myself this year, having
climbed it for the first time. :-)

Sounds about like me. I enjoy watching Le Tour de France and I realize that
I could never bike competitively, but it still motivates me during the
summer. Just watching what they do makes me believe in "What I can do", and
I've pushed myself past limits that I wouldn't have imagined 5 years ago.
The weather here just got a lot warmer this weak, and it really makes me
want to get on my bike now. LOL But tomorrow will be below freezing again.
