Not going to get you 1000s of feet gain in one shot, but the BPA gravel
road from Hwy 30 (just NW of LInnton) to Skyline is brutal. I've _never_
seen anyone actually climb it all on a mountain bike. Do a few laps of
that if you think you can climb it. You could throw in a series of laps
going up Newton Rd, BPA, FL12/FL15. That'll kick anyones ass. Trails
