Which side of Diablo is easier?

[cindysue]

Never ascended from South Gate - but the descent seems faster down North gate, so it would seem North Gate is the steeper ascent.

I plan on taking my boyfriend up to the junction from Southgate, with a trailer, in preparation for our ride to Santa Barbara/L.A. Now he wants to go all the way to L.A. We'll see how we feel after 5 days of riding almost 400 miles to SB. Maybe we'll join you all on the 8th (depends on if I do the Wine Country Century on the 7th).

anybody know how I can rent a bike trailer (i.e, the Yak BOB)?
Edit: Never mind- I just bought one online
