Pittsburgh Dirty Dozen hill climb bike ride and race (in HD)

Officially known as the Dirty Dozen for its 13 severe climbs ranging 18-37% over 50+ miles, it might be more accurately called The Hell of the Hills. Why is it so hellish? For its multiple 6-8 minute anaerobic efforts at cadences below 50rpm, in usually frigid, often windy, and sometimes wet conditions.

"I couldn't imagine living in Chicago or some other city where it's flat and boring and it's a grid pattern and every road's the same."

Spot on. Chicago's great, but damn is it terrible for cycling.
