    we've all heard the stories of 70k & 80k commutes, but who here has the got the highest gradient?
    I'll kick off with a healthy 2.09% door to door.

    Well, I've got a 10% for about 30m on the ramp out of the underground car-park...

    On a half hour odd commute, it's about 0% door to door overall, but there's about 110m climbing (and of course descending). Gradients about 5-6% on the longer climbing sections, with a little kick of about 7-8% for a couple of hundred meters just before the office. Taking the scenic route home (actually about the same distance) I can add about 50m vertical to that - mostly 5-8%, but a nice little kick of 12-15% for a bit
