Ooo! I know that hill! I worked over at the Salk Institute for several years, and I've been up and down that hill a few times. I prefer going down it! Actually, I prefer staying away from it!!! Too many cars driving too close to you too quickly.
A few weekends ago, I thought I'd test my new-found energy and love for bicycling by riding over to Torrey Pines State Park. It was loads of fun, but I now know I need to get in a little bit better shape if I plan on riding home faster than 2mph.
