Page Mill Again
I rode up Page Mill road again today. This time, I brought my camera and I didn’t lose a spoke at the top. Coming back down was a lot faster, with one scary moment. I was wearing my helmet for the descent. From my house to Gate 4 took me 54 minutes, 35 minutes of which was from the base (I-280 and Page Mill) to Gate 4. I definitely can improve this time a ton — it’s a real grind for me right now — but I’ll have to ride it more than once every two months if I want to get better.

UPDATE: Elevation graph, per Jayson’s request!
The view from the top as the Sun set was well worth the effort:

Where’s the elevation chart?! mapmyride.com
How does it compare to the hills in the NW?

And here I was thinking of an old, musty Adobe WYSIWYG HTML editor… ;-)

Ug, all the ads on mapmyride make it somewhat less desirable to use than straight up Google maps, but since I’m curious too, I’ll put together a graph and post it for you.

There are fewer ads, but the elevation chart isn’t that great.
