The bike rack is officially called the Quack Rack. And some ride organizer from SoCal took one to copy for his rides.
The hill that went on forever... I didn't check mileage for this, but don't you think that it's similar to going to the junction? I think the grade is pretty mellow for the most part, and the views are great.
Maybe someone with a better memory and descriptive abilities will tell you about the climbs on the 75 mile route...

I think you're right, on all counts. It wasn't that steep, as steep goes, but I had no idea how long it was going to be and I guess I wasn't psychologically prepared for a long (for me) upward trudge with seemingly no end in sight Originally Posted by aka_kim
. Part of the time up that grade I was chatting with a woman from the Deloitte team and we were both agreeing that while the steepness wasn't bad, the distance and not knowing how much farther it would be was wearing on us.
That and I like to whine, everyone needs a hobby.

I liked this hill because Kim and I got to chat most of the way. She's usually in front of me but this time she took pity and kept me company. Originally Posted by jobob
