if you see the first red tick on the profile - that's the climb Jiffer did.
I've been up to Icehouse Canyon - it's even more fun.
Jiffer - weaving is common tatic when you run out of gearing. I think you're ok doing that on a weekday there during summer. and starting to take an panting break, works
Luvs2Bike- I live near the border of Upland and Rancho, and I think that is God is , too

You're talking up where the switchbacks are?? I've driven it and I am content with that being the extent of my relationship with that mountain.

Icehouse is parking right below where the switchbacks start. I'm not a big fan of 20% grades and inadvertent wheelies.

i studied that climb (thanks for link Fredwina) and it is really punishing, because it keeps getting worse! you think you're almost done, you have 5 miles to go and it GETS WORSE! wow.

Hey Fredwina-
Are you near the new Chicks/Starbucks/Jamba Juice off of Campus?? We are probably passing each other on the road and don't even know it . . boy the world is small !!

I do hope to run into you and Jiffer soon! Maybe on Baldy Road !!

Blessings!
