I have a strip of roadway 1.1 miles long that I identified today. The slope is also more gentle. From a dead stop today I coasted to 45mph during the coast, then slowed to about 43mph before I will have to brake for a light. 45mph is not really all that fast, but the distance is better. And that slowdown from 45mph to 43mph near the end would change notably if the drag were changed significantly. I need a rout by Saturday or Sunday. And yes, I'll do multiple runs. I figure A-B-A-B with three separate runs for each "A" and each "B". Twelve total. Should I use the 45mph 1.1 mile hill or the 55mph 0.5 mile hill?
