Quick poll on journey preference



Originally posted by Sky Fly
Say you have to get from Aye to Bee, a distance of 10km. Both
places are at sea level. You have a choice of four routes:

Route 1 - rises steeply to 100m asl for the first
kilometre, and thereafter slopes gently downwards for the
rest of the journey.

Route 2 - rises gently to 100m asl for the first 9km,
and thereafter slopes steeply downwards for the rest of
the journey.

Route 3 - rises to 100m for half of the journey, and slopes
downwards for the rest of the journey.

Route 4 - flat all the way through.

Assume road surface, numbers of twists and turns, scenery,
wind, <insert name of journey variable here> are all the
same. Which route would you pick?

have to be route #1, but just 100m in 1km! come and try my local hills- or hill i should say that splits after the first 1km at 20%, its either another 2k at 12% or 1.5k at 15%, love my hills though! and i know at one point of the 20% its up to at least 25% for a bit!
