The LBC site now lists, thanks to the efforts of webmaster Duc Do, 100 hills, along with their overall length and grade (if known) all within about 40 to 50 miles of Louisville.
With all of the rain that's now falling, this list will provide some nice options for anyone wishing to challenge their legs and lungs with some good climbs.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to post the link on my home PC (duh) but the list was recently linked on the KyCyclist listserve.
Any body have any luck
Any body have any luck finding this list?
Also, I have never been able to find the LBC's q sheets online. If anybody can help with that would be great.

Unless someone else posts
Unless someone else posts the link, your best bet may be to access (ie- googel?) KyCyclist and look for the post w/a title similar to the one I posted. I think it was posted late last week and there was several responses.
Note- one of the hills listed was the one leading up to the lodge at Bike Butler (they listed the length/grade from both directions), which means that Butler has the best of both worlds, great trails, and an on-road climbing opportunity!
Almost forgot to mention that the LBC doesn't list their rides on their website for liability reasons. There's been another website started by an avid LBC rider (which I can't recall here at work) that's compiled a list of rides all over KY, with most starting here in the Lou. area (ie- mostly LBC rides). I'll try to remember and post the site here. It also contains numerous photo's of riders and pictures taken during the ride.
