Description

Finally we got a nice break in the weather after all the rains this week, and I went out on the road bike. Hicks (southwards) is a deceiving climb: it’s all nice and gentle and rolling until the last part: then a brutal wall awaits you, about a mile and a half at an average grade of 16% I guestimate. It reminded me a bit of Iowa Hill in the Sierra foothills, but a bit shorter. I saved Mount Umunhum road for next time…
