      Where do you do hill repeats on the bridle path?

      @lora - between 81st and 85th on the west side, just south of the reservoir entrance. The top of the hill is below the reservoir and the bottom is at the tunnel where the loop crosses overhead. Not a big hill, but a good grade for lots and lots of continuous repeats sans pounding on pavement.
