Hill Repeats and the evening commute

I'm absolutely loving the growing twilight in Melbourne this time of year.  My evening communte now back in sunshine.  With my rim blow out last week I have put the Ksyrium Elites on my TCR Alloy.  The 12-27 cassette makes for easy range on the hills.  I promised myself at least once a week I would get back into Hill Repeats on the way home from work.  I have a 1.5km loop with a short but steep hill hitting 20%.  I aim to do that 7 times.  Why 7? Maybe this is to off set the seven deadly sins?  I all I know is that is hurts and by garmin graph doesn't do it justice.  Seven humps of pain.

    I reckon it's funny how we mad men still call it a 'commute' when we put 7 hill repeats in it! Isn't a commute a simple journey to or from? This'll do you great guns for the Alpine.
