Pig Farm Hill - CHECK!

[bikerz]

Good job, Z. I think you rode Carquinez Scenic drive. Did you take McEwen too?

McEwan - Ohhhhh noooo, not McEwan! We went past McEwan and saw all the spray-painted indicators for the Grizzly Peak Century, and just kept on going! There were plenty of hills that were definitely noticable to me, but when I looked at the elevation profile from my cyclometer, they were NOTHING compared to Pig Farm - it's actually pretty funny to look at it. Maybe I'll post it tomorrow for a laugh!

Ellen - I don't know about the Bears surface, but I'll find out tomrrow and report back - I'll be out that way and I'll take a look.

Dachshund - here's the elevation profile of my first Pig Farm route (the "steep" side from El Sobrante - you can also see Reliez Valley:

And here it is coming the other direction from Martinez:

OK thats just scary.
Well done .

Yowza! I think I'll leave this one for... some other time. That's extremely impressive. Did I say "extreme" ?

What's going on with the Bears route? Seems to be "the season" for roadwork.

Thanks Ann!

Latest word from cyclists- yes, Bears doable from either side.

BUT- road from ranger station to summit of Diablo is closed during the week as well as the north side road. Open on weekends only

ALSO- Pinehurst is closed for repairs. Not open at all (my understanding)
