Well I survived the ride home today - the exact reverse of this route. It was harder just as I expected (more up hill), and I'm pretty tired. Surprisingly my actual spinning time was only 10 minutes longer, but I did stop to rest once. Don't think I can do this more than once a week right now. Maybe twice a week if cooler weather.

Definitely need a lower gear on my road bike. It's not geared at all for climbing hills, and I have a massive one on the way home. I was mashing pretty hard in the lowest gear just to make it up. But I must say - I still had an easier time of it than I did riding this route on my mountain bike last year, even though it has a triple crank.
