There are two lists.
A list of the hills you must do because they're scenic, or well known; &
A list of the hills you must do because they're tough.
I'll put 5 on each list (in no particular order).
Scenic or well known list:
- Mt Lofty
- Old Norton Summit Rd
- Belair Rd
- Old Willunga Hill Rd
- Ocean Boulevard, Seacliff Park (aka Cement hill)
'Tough' list:
- Checker Hill Rd
- Coach House Drive, Teringie
- Sheoak Rd, Belair
- top of Morphett Rd, Seaview Downs
- top of Kensington Rd

Another one that never gets a mention is branching off Windy Pt at the restaurant and heading up to the top via Kalyra rd - same elevation in about a quarter of the distance. I'd love to know how the slope on that compares with Checker in case I don't get out to suss it out before the TDU. Anyone?

I can't think of ten at the moment but Clarendon Rd, Clarendon is a real nice climb, not too hard, but nice views, very enjoyable.
