Drop into a big gear and stand? The bridge doesn't sound like the best option.

I know someone who puts the front wheel on a box almost two feet off the ground. It certianly adds a balance challenge. I find a single foot to be way steep.
So next week I start Base 2 training and there is the addition of Force workouts that I need to be adding. The recommended force workouts in the Training bible involve hill climbs. I live in Charleston SC and the only hill is the bridge over the Cooper River. Its a climb of only 200ft at 4%, so you can get a descent run workout on it, but the a bike workout I'm not sure classifies as a real hill not to mention, that the expansion joints play hell on your wheels.
So, other than driving a couple of hundred miles inland, are there any recommendations for hill work. I have my trainer, but I'm not convinced that I can simulate a hill on it, but then again, there was no real instructions that came with it either.
