The BRENTACOL website collects hill information on hills throughout the United States and selected places around the world. While other sites provide similar information on many of the climbs, no other site takes the time to catalog the smaller climbs featured in this database. In hillier areas, riders tend to only be interested in the bigger climbs. However, for a climber stuck in Rhode Island, where hills are much smaller, as a rule, putting together a ride with lots of climbing poses quite a difficult task.
The database is currently only comprehensive for the Rhode Island area, but new hills are added every day...eventually the same level of detail will be available for all of New England, and eventually, perhaps the rest of the United States.
brentacol.com is a database of hills created and maintained by one of our riders, Brent Wetters. The list contains a comprehensive list of hills, with gradients and profiles, in the Providence area. Outside of RI, the database contains information on many climbs, both famous and obscure. Updated all the time!
