Bike Kentucky

Great article, thanks for sharing.

Very nice the way they included the trail systems along with photos!

The Jefferson Memorial Forest road ride, part of the "Hill Jam" rides hosted by the LBC, averaged just over 70 ft. of elevation gain per mile, a nice bit of climbing, but all in all, not too bad as most of the elevation gain comes on two steep climbs.

Cherokee Park is rather mild when it comes to off-road climbing; averaging just over 117 ft. of elevation gain per mile, on the course listed in the article.

Next up is Otter Creek Park, averaging 143.7 ft. of elevation gain per mile, definitely enough to get those legs burning.

Waverly Park requires quite a bit more effort, coming in at 187.5 ft. of elevation gain per mile. A lot of climbing with a few recovery areas thrown in for good measure.

Ft. Duffield is the king of climbing, registering in at a whopping 259 ft. of elevation gain per mile (at least on the route in the article). Makes my legs hurt just thinking about it!
