The Five Hills Ride

July 8, 2001

Starting at 4:30 PM I rode up Claremont, across Grizzly, down Old Tunnel, up Old Tunnel, and back down Claremont. It took 90 minutes. I was pretty tired.

This is the first 40% of the proposed Five Hills Ride. The idea is to ascend the East Bay hills by five different roads in one day. Allowable roads are:

Centennial (ouch!)
Claremont
Old Tunnel
Shasta
Spruce (too easy?)
Snake

You're not allowed to get off the bike except briefly, at the start of descents, to adjust clothing.
