Speaking of grade...

There will be quite a bit of climbing on my upcoming trip around the north half of the Lake. That made me curious: what was the highest grade I've ever pedaled up and where was it?

I think I found the answer. It was late August 2011 on the ride around Tegernsee.

The 13% I managed to ride, but we had to dismount when it get closer to and then over 20%.

Fortunately, the steepest slope on my trip will be just 8.4%.

Phew!

Share your slopes ;)

8%, supposedly, on the Blue Ridge Parkway but there was definitely some steeper slopes from WV into Virginia, I THINK. 

Also there's some yikes in the driftless and as it was my first tour, I sure as shucks got off and walked it. :)
