RAGBRAI - Where do you guys go in the Chicago area for hill training?

I'm looking for somewhere, probably a suburb, to practice hill training for RAGBRAI this summer. Anybody have any suggestions?

Lemont, IL. Park on State Street. Ride any direction. Here's a link to a prior discussion on topic: http://www.thechainlink.org/forum/topics/hills-training?id=2211490%...

Didn't mean to embarrass you. Shake it off. Go ride hills.

Nah I was joking around, I appreciate the civilized response. I know how it can be on a forum sometimes when you ask a question that has been already addressed. That post looks to be pretty informative, I'm psyched

There is a 18% grade hill I do training on in highland park, it is about 15 miles north of the city, enough to give you a good warm up, then do the hill repeats, then ride home

 

I usually drive up and meet a friend to do this workout , there is also the metra train
