Subject: Where to do hill repeats on the north end of town (Alpharetta, John's Creek, Roswell)

Rather than drive to KeMo, is there somewhere in the Alpharetta/Roswell/Johns Creek area that is good for hill repeats?  Just wondering.

Shiloh Farms is a decent replacement for SCT since it's a 45min drive to SCT.  Am hoping to find someplace that is not the 45+ min drive to KeMo.

Eves road in roswell. You can keep doing it as one repetitive loop. Climb, take a right, quick downhill, Right, and then climb again. You are familiar with this hill- it's part of the roswell route. There are other good hills on that ride- but that one seems to be less dangerous and trafficy.

You can park at the river park under the bridge (400) and warm up on the 3/4 mile ride to eves

Isn't the Shiloh ride bacally hill repeats. The only thing is that they ride on Thursday when we ride the Roswell Loop.

One of my personal goals is to climb Tower road to the top of Sawnee Mountain in Cumming.
So far:
mountain 1 : me 0

It is only .8 mi but very steep. It is off HWY 20 at and ends right by the big methodist church, and swithcbacks to the top.

We saw last week what happens when Capt No Fun puts her foot down.  She gave me a choice: Wed or Thur but not both.  I see her point (1hr drive, 1 hr repeat, 3 hr drinking, 1hr drive home) but personally I think it's a little unreasonable  .

That's my new Sat AM route.  Yes, it's a little hilly.  Not 3 gaps but you are shifting gears pretty often.
