Oh, I'm curious too. For all I know, Krebs is some wise old mapmaker that you keep in your closet!

It's also a fairly major bit of metabolism involved in the production of ATP (energy). Knew that biochem degree would come in handy one day...
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

*Looking for Tunnel Rd. on map* Is it the same as Hwy. 24?

Old Tunnel Rd runs sort of parallel to 24, then keeps going up when 24 goes through the Caldecott tunnel - and finally meets Grizzly Peak at Skyline. Hmmm - 9% seems very steep - if it's that steep, what the heck am I doing climbing it!

Climbing it very well, indeed! With the added bonus that you managed to complete the ride without any parts falling off of your bike... Originally Posted by bikerz

I think it is more of an accomplishment if no parts fall off your body.

I was pretty proud of myself for keeping myself in one piece, definitely!
Unfortunately, I *did* have something fall off of my bike...but I was all for the fact that when my chain broke, it broke after we had completed the ride safely, and within coasting distance of my car!

Yeah - that was something - I've never seen a chain break like that!
So Winddance did great on Tunnel Rd - there were several times when she was so far ahead of me that I coudn't see her on any of the curves ahead, and wondered if she had accidentally fallen off the side of the road! m (Luckily not!)
With her new rear cassette, she'll be blasting up those East Bay hills in no time, and the new brakes will help with the downhills!
