Intended to be a hill training/interval workout on a scenic route. Instead of hill "repeats", we will do a fartlek-style workout using natural terrain and hills. A couple of good Strava segments along the way. 

1. Escarpment Drive

2. TWP Rd 250 Westbound (short, sharp climb from bottom of OBCR)

3. Springbank Heights ("Up and then up again")

4. Hackamore Trail (Watch out for the speed bumps)

5. Final ascent of OBCR (main climb of 4 km starts at the "Y" junction w RR 31 and finishes at Artists' View)

We will aim for a Zone 1-2 pace in between intervals.
