CDRC (Capital District Road Climbs): Waters Road

Waters Road

Distance: 2 miles

Climbing: 760 feet

One of the more challenging Scotia-Glenville road climbs, Waters Road climbs steeply upward from Route 5 for two miles, before plummeting abruptly to intersect West Glenville Road. This one is fun in both directions, and can be combined with other challenging climbs in the area for a truly brutal climb fest.

To be a cyclist is to be a student of pain....at cycling's core lies pain, hard and bitter as the pit inside a juicy peach. It doesn't matter if you're sprinting for an Olympic medal, a town sign, a trailhead, or the rest stop with the homemade brownies. If you never confront pain, you're missing the essence of the sport. Without pain, there's no adversity. Without adversity, no challenge. Without challenge, no improvement. No improvement, no sense of accomplishment and no deep-down joy. Might as well be playing Tiddly-Winks. -Scott Martin
