Post up your PRs on any and all climbs!
A new one today, Tioga Pass from 395 to the Yosemite Entrance, 1:32:00.
Oh, and the descent was fun as well. Despite the headwinds I was able to get up over 48mph... My ride was 395 to Cathedral Lakes Trailhead (just past Tuolumne Visitors Center) and back. So 41 miles and about 4600 feet of climbing. =)

Nice send. That just seems fast.

F'ueco, we were just talking about you today -- how you were all over the place (besides other things we talked about behind your back). And, you ARE all over the place! 48mph? Geez. When I get fast (like at about 30 mph) and if there is any wind at all, my bikes start wobbling. It always freaks me out. Wonder how you do it.
-
All over the place? Whatever gave you that impression? I guess the places I spent the last three nights don't take away from that rumor (Tioga Lake, Lake Tahoe, and Folsom)... Now that I'm nearly back in town, I'm heading up to Castle for an afternoon session. :)
The trick for relatively fast descents is to brace your knees against your toptube, and keep your upper body low. Then just hope that one of your tires doesn't blow...

Kings Mountain in 31:30 this morning (Old Woodside Store to the stop sign). :)

East side of Mount Hamilton...

Way harder than the west side!

I'm resurrecting this thread so I don't have to start a new one... >:D
-
Ooh, resurrecting threads again!
I found this thread while trying to remember what my time on Tioga Pass was five years ago...
I did it again this past Friday evening (we topped out at sunset). My time was 1:22:20. So, nearly ten minutes faster. Good times!
We also did Rock Creek Road to Mosquito Flat and Horseshoe Meadow Road over the weekend. That's three of the four highest paved roads in California in three consecutive days. Fun times.
I also damn near PR'd on Old La Honda today. My time was only 45 seconds off my best (best being 22:35).

Your Riding strong. I have plateaued but feel ok.

Last weekend Royal Arches in 2.5 hours with my climbing director for my summer camp (this time includes passed three parties and stopping to eat an orange and other general yelling/monkeying about hijinx.)
I don't bike
