I found this kicking around on our website.
It's the graph from the day I set my PB going up Diablo in 9/06.You can see that it's a pretty unrelenting climb. The first 6.5 miles are about a 5% grade. The next 4.5 miles are about 7%, with the last tenth or so 17%. I love this climb though. It's a great way to track how fit you are - or aren't.
We're thinking about riding it again on Sunday. Maybe I'll try to challenge the PB. Maybe not - there's something to be said for moseying. Yesterday's high HR was lower than my average on PB day.

I've been lucky to ride it a handful of times...my only time up the summit though, was under the tutelage and company of the Bike Goddess!
I love that mountain. I hope to return to that summit sometime in 2009. One of my resolutions!

Nice, V! Super glamour shots, for sure.
I saw several people riding yesterday on my way back from skiing. The roads were mostly dry, but I just...can't...even...think...about....riding when there is a groomed skating track available! But I bow down to those of you who are motivated to ride through the winter outside! You are HARDCORE!!!
