If there's anything I can say about Philadelphia is that once you cycle its streets, you will never again wonder if NASA went overboard with how big and powerful they make the booster rockets to achieve vertical escape velocity.  SWEET JESUS....you will feel the burn as was my case as I shifted down into my largest hill climbing gears  (24 front 42 rear), and hammered away til the Garmin started telling me to make a you turn LOL.  

I might have been more angry if I didn't know that deep down my fat ass needed the hill climbing training in the worst possible way!  But no sooner did I make my U-turn and go about 3 miles in the opposite direction, did the Garmin time again telling me to make another U-turn?!?!?  I'm like W....T....F!?!?!  After asking a guy on the trail, I was pointed in the right direction....even though the GPS was still telling me to go back.  I even made a left off of Falls rd, but then quickly U-turn to get back on it.

Part 4.....THE FALLS RD VERTICAL CLIMB!  May God have mercy on me.
