It was fabulous !! We were joined by another woman from ACTC whose pace up the mountain was very similar to ours, so we had a nice, companionable little group going.
The last few miles to the summit seemed to take for-EVER, mountains seem to be perverse that waybut it made it all the more sweeter when I finally reached the top - I let out a very LOUD whoop rolling up to the front entrance of the observatory.
The weather was great - it was chilly near the summit but I don't do well in the heat so I can't complain. There was very little vehicle traffic (maybe people were already off to their stupor bowl parties - fine by me) and it was lovely up there. I took some photos that I'll post, eventually. Even better, we encountered very few cars heading down (and did I mention the descent is a blast??? oops, I do believe I did). We were done before 3 so we missed the storm.
And the looks of awe on people's faces today at lunchtime when we were all talking about what we did this weekend, and I casually mentioned, oh, I cycled up Mt. Hamilton .... priceless

I'm so glad you guys had a good ride! I will try it sometime. I really will. Let me know the next time you're going when it's not a Sunday. I go to church on Sunday mornings. I'll get Blaine to come too so he can give me pushes along the way.
