Spin class and 16 mile ride

Saturday I did another round of spin class followed by a good outdoor ride. It had just rained so I had a good 10-15 mph head wind for a good part of the ride. I wasn't able to hit any really challenging hills so instead I focused on not lowering my gear while tackling the hills. Adding the wind made this even more relevant.

My next ride I have a hill that I would like to try. The problem is I am only finding steep hills, what I really want are long ones.

They posted the actual route but it's got some pretty dangerous roads so I wont ride it alone. I'm going to drive it next week to get a feel for the terrain. I also need to take the maintenance class for my bike soon because I'm sure flats will be common on these roads.
