k..I'm in & want to share my hill with you...
Mount Street is on the last half of my ride & will aim to do it twice a week..
Length of Mount St – past bridge to top (cliff st): 280m
Height at bottom: 15m
Height at top: 50m
Difference: 35m
% Gradient = 35/280*100 = 12.5%
I made it up the other day without stopping
It's the hilliest thing i can find on my weekday rides..

Nothing terribly exciting on the climbing front, but I am pretty proud of myself tonight, so I just have to post this!
I just surpassed 1,500 miles!!! When I started riding in February, I never would've guessed I'd be at 1,500 miles by August. Pat-on-back for self.

Today I rode the Tour de Max, almost 7000 ft in 70 miles. Booyah!
Still not Starfish Level though.

Well done jobob.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Remember when Nemesis was wicked hard.
Remember when you thought you'd never exceed the speed limit on the trail.
Keep on truckin' Jo.

Hee hee, you bet I did! As I was riding up Tunitas Creek Road yesterday, for only the second time ever, I was thinking back to the first time I went up it, two years ago with V and Thom. Originally Posted by Veronica

What kind of computers do you guys use to keep track of your hill climbs? I am the "weirdo" of our group ... you know ... the one who actuallly likes to climb
and I would love to keep track of things like that. Please share with me what you guys like to use! Thanks!

Just tell V you are committed to some ride, and then tell her she has permission to get tough. One day I will come down and we will struggle along in her wake together! LOL Originally Posted by jobob

I have a CicloSport CM436M that I really like (once I was able to comprehend the GEnglish instruction manual) but unfortanately it's been discontinued. Ciclosport currently doesn't seem to have an equivalent model.
One of the things I really like about it is that I can download my ride data onto my desktop computer and save epic rides for posterity
