Mt. Hamilton - Nov. 5 or 6?

Hi all -

How's about a ride up Mt. Hamilton (near San Jose) either Saturday Nov. 5 or Sunday Nov. 6. ?

Maps, details, and all that other stuff to follow.

- Jo.

Thank you, Miss Tour Guide Magnifique!

how does Mt Hamilton compare to the assault on Diablo? Higher? Steeper? that sorta thing

Trek-getting her nerve up-420

Until Captain Jobob post the details, here is the old thread for your reading pleasure.

But isn't Mt. Hamilton a "Hill That Goes On Freakin’ Forever"? :D

No, that was whatever the name of the road we were on for the Top Hat. At least that's how I felt :o

Bah, they all do :p

We'd prefer the 5th as Thom will probably be heading to Melbourne the 6th or 7th. And I don't get to go. :mad: He'll be gone for 4 weeks.

Since no one else expressed a preference for Saturday vs. Sunday, and it's a toss for me, we'll have the ride on Saturday Nov. 5.

It just wouldn't be the same without HRH and the Prince Consort, would it?

Mark your calendars, line up the babysitters, think up excuses for the in-laws ...

Details to follow.

Melbourne for four weeks ?! :eek: He better bring you back some reaallly good prezzinks!

I've marked my calendar - pretty sure I'm in town that weekend :)

Will this be a day to debut the AV jerseys?

I'd say those that got 'em, flaunts 'em! Worldwide!

" Very few riders would need a triple crankset on this ride for its grade, since it never gets very steep."

"On the other hand, due to its length it can wear you down, so lower gears might give you a chance to rest. But there's nothing as steep as the nastier sections of Page Mill, or even Old La Honda for that matter. It's just plain long! "

Latin, please!

Veronica, si vous plais? I can't find an on-line latin translator that can handle phrases.
