I decided to ride to my university which is 9km away from my home and it is placed on a foothill. I guess the route is 5degrees uphill steep.

I have ridden short routes before but not as long as 18 km.. I'm a beginner in riding, but physically I'm partly OK.

**EDIT:**
This is the path's elevation profile from google earth:
The average slope is 4.6% and max slope is 13.1% and altitude is 1224 ft.
