Looks like the back side of Crest Rd. I do some of my Hill repeats on that one. It is tough after about number 5.

I don't own any hills. Hills own me.

So I did that for my first time a couple weeks ago. I mashed up it as fast as I could and while I made it up all the way, my Garmin with auto start/stop didn't recognize me as moving in parts. It was a slap in the face, really.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds ElT/Lomas tough.

The other local one that I only recently discovered was Hiller at the bottom of Tunnel - clockwise was a brute and the downhill back to tunnel was frankly new-bibs time.

No hills in Davis but a nice repeater, Cantelow, after a 25 mile warmup (into headwinds usually)...

The second one, Mix Canyon Rd, is a couple miles further.... Now that's a bad mutha!
