Elite  3779      Ontario |  Subject: I need hills!!So I'm looking to find some good hills in S. Ontario to ride. I live around the Escarpment so I've already ridden Appleby (both sides), 6th line, Guelph line, Steeles, and Bell School. These are the only ones that come to mind at the moment as stand outs - along with Hwy 25. |

Expert 758 Port Colborne, Ontario | Subject: RE: I need hills!! Yeah, you live in the wrong part of the country..lol. But still ahead of me. I'm in Port Colborne, 30 mins south of St. Catharines. I can go 50km in any direction (except south obviously) and not get more than 50 ft elev change.  |

Veteran 270 Burlington | Subject: RE: I need hills!! It's tough to find anything longer but I've found going up 6th line and then down 14th sideroad and the turning around immediately and going up 14th sideroad to be pretty good, as good as it is going to get here I am afraid. One suggestion is 1 Sideroad from Appleby head West until you hit Cedar Springs. It's not a constant climb but rollers that trend up and get bigger the farther along you get. |

Extreme Veteran 574 Southwestern Ontario | Subject: RE: I need hills!! What about Rattlesnake Point, Kelso, etc? There are mountain bike trails on ski hills. However, you'd have to be on a MTB, but it would certainly be killer for fitness and hill training. |
